Answer:

Each person will get 1/18 pounds of spice from the bag

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 2/3 by 12:

Make 12 a fraction by adding 1 as the denominator:

2/3 ÷ 12/1

Reciprocate the second fraction:

2/3 ÷ 1/12

Turn it into multiplication:

2/3 x 1/12 = 2/36

SIMPLIFY 2/36:

2/36

Divide both sides by 2:

1/18

so your answer is 1/18

This is an expontential growth, which is a growth based on f(x) = b*a^x
b = 1500
a = 1.03
x = 3

f(3)=1500*1.03^3 = 1639.10$

After three years the fridge would cost 1639.1$.

Answer:

Converges to -25.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} -5 \cdot (\frac{4}{5})^{k-1}$ converges since $r=\frac{4}{5}$ .

The sum is given by $\frac{a_1}{1-r}$ where $a_1$ is -5.

$\frac{-5}{1-\frac{4}{5}}=\frac{-5}{\frac{1}{5}}=-5(5)=-25$ .
