Complete question :

Bernie and Chloe hiked the Tremont Trail to the end and back. Then they hiked the Wildflower trail to the end before stopping to eat lunch. Before Ricardo ate his lunch, he hiked 2 2/3 times as far as Bernie and Chloe. How far did he hike?

Required diagram is attached below

Answer:

25 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Tremont Trail = 3 1/2 miles

Wildflower trail = 2 3/8 miles

Distance covered ; Tremont Trail and back : (3 1/2 * 2). = 7/2 * 2 = 14 /2 = 7 miles

Total distance covered by Bernie and Chloe before stopping for lunch /

(7 miles + 2 3/8 Miles) = 9 3/8 miles = 75/8 miles

Ricardo's distance = 2 2/3 * Bernie and Chloe's total distance

Ricardo's distance = 8/3 * 75/8 = 600 /24 = 25 miles

Answer:

Combination without repetition

Step-by-step explanation:

The fruit he chooses doesn’t matter because he’s simply throwing them in his lunch box (so it’s a combination). And because there is a limited amount of fruit it is without repetition.

Answer:

<h2>A. The series CONVERGES</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If $\sum a_n$ is a series, for the series to converge/diverge according to ratio test, the following conditions must be met.

$\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n}| = \rho$

If $\rho$ < 1, the series converges absolutely

If $\rho > 1$ , the series diverges

If $\rho = 1$ , the test fails.

Given the series $\sum\left\ {\infty} \atop {1} \right \frac{n^2}{5^n}$

To test for convergence or divergence using ratio test, we will use the condition above.

$a_n = \frac{n^2}{5^n} \\a_n_+_1 = \frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}}$

$\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = \frac{{\frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}}}}{\frac{n^2}{5^n} }\\\\ \frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = {{\frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}} * \frac{5^n}{n^2}\$

$\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = {{\frac{(n^2+2n+1)}{5^n*5^1}} * \frac{5^n}{n^2}\\$

aₙ₊₁/aₙ =

$\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{ n^2+2n+1}{5n^2}| \\\\Dividing\ through\ by \ n^2\\\\\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{ n^2/n^2+2n/n^2+1/n^2}{5n^2/n^2}|\\\\\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{1+2/n+1/n^2}{5}|\\\\$
