Step-by-step explanation:

1) The first term is -1352, and the common difference is 18. So the 87th term is:

a = -1352 + 18 (87 − 1)

a = 196

2) 1/64 + 1/16 + 1/4 + 1 + 4

This is a geometric series, where the first term is 1/64 and the common ratio is 4.

∑⁵ᵢ₌₁ 1/64 (4)ⁱ⁻¹

Since 1/64 = 4⁻³:

∑⁵ᵢ₌₁ 4⁻³ (4)ⁱ⁻¹

∑⁵ᵢ₌₁ (4)ⁱ⁻⁴

3) The first term is -2100, and the common ratio is -0.1, so the 7th term is:

a = -2100 (-0.1)⁷⁻¹

a = -0.0021

4) The first term is 48, and the fifth term is 243/16, so the common ratio is:

243/16 = 48 r⁵⁻¹

81/256 = r⁴

r = 3/4

So the sequence is:

48, 36, 27, 81/4, 243/16

B.)

{(2,2), (3,2), (4,2), (4,4), (5,2), (5,4), (6,2), (6,4), (6,6)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space :

Die roll, then number of coin tosses based on the outcome of the die roll, then number of heada from the toss(es) is recorded along with the outcome of the die roll.

{(1, 0), (1, 1), (2,0), (2,1), (2, 2), (3,0), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (4, 0), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (5,0), (5,1),(5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (6,0), (6,1),(6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)}

Event that the total number of head is even:

{(2,2), (3,2), (4,2), (4,4), (5,2), (5,4), (6,2), (6,4), (6,6)}

24 is 31.25% of what number? Prove your answer in the show your workbox.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

76.8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We assume, that the number 31.25 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 100% equals 31.25, so we can write it down as 100%=31.25.

4. We know, that x% equals 24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=31.25

2) x%=24

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=31.25/24

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24 is what percent of 31.25

100%/x%=31.25/24

(100/x)*x=(31.25/24)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=1.3020833333333*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3020833333333) to get x

100/1.3020833333333=x

76.8=x

x=76.8

now we have:

24 is 76.8% of 31.25
