Answer:
6 jeeps are needed. the last jeep will fit 4 people because you cant logically cut a jeep in half to make it perfectly sized. In this case its 6 jeeps as your answer.
6x7=42
The formula for arithmetic sequence is given by:
an=a+(n-1)d
where:
an=nth term
a=first term
n=number of terms
thus our first term will be:
a1=8
a2=8+(2-1)(-6)=2
a3=8+(3-1)(-6)=-4
a4=8+(4-1)(-6)=-10
a5=8+(5-1)(-6)=-16
a5=-16
thus the sequence will be:
8,2,-4,-10,-16...
My late response (haha): First, you would write a proportion.
Step 1: 2496 over 48 = x over 31
(x represents the area of the land that is not fenced).
Step 2: Cross multiply
2496 times 31 and x times 48
Step 3: Calculate
77376 = 48x
Step 4: Divide both sides by 48
77376/48 = 1612
48x/48 = x
Step 5: Write it as a sentence
The area of the land that is not fenced is 1612 squared meters.
Hope that helped! Good luck! :]
720 divided by 8 and then look up the answer to that as a fraction on Google
