A stack of logs has 32 logs on the bottom layer. Each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs than the previous layer. If the top laye
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:  The total number of logs in the pile is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a stack of logs has 32 logs on the bottom layer. Each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs than the previous layer and the top layer has two​ logs.

We are to find the total number of logs in the pile.

Let n represents the total number of logs in the pile.

Since each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs then the previous layer, so the number of logs in each layer will become an ARITHMETIC sequence with

first term, a = 32  and  common difference, d = -6.

We know that

the n-th term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a and common difference d is

a_n=a+(n-10)d.

Since there are n logs in the pile, so we get

a+(n-1)d=2\\\\\Rightarrow 32+(n-1)(-6)=2\\\\\Rightarrow 32-6n+6=2\\\\\Rightarrow 6n=36\\\\\Rightarrow n=6.

Thus, the total number of logs in the pile is 6.

Perform the indicated operations. Reduce the answers to lowest terms .<br>​
kozerog [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. (2+4+1)/9 = 7/9

2. 2 1/3 + 2/3 = 2 + (1+2)/3 = 2 + 3/3 = 2+1 = 3

3. 1 1/5 + 2 3/5 = 1+2 + 1/5 + 3/5 = 3 + (1+3)/5 =

3 4/5

4. 5/6 + 2/10 + 1/5 = 5/6 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 5/6 + 2/5

= (5×5)/(6×5) + (2×6)/(5×6)

= 25/30 + 12/30

= (25+12)/30

= 37/30 = 1 7/30

5. 3 1/2 + 4 2/3

= 3+4 + 1/2 + 2/3

= 7 + (1×3)/(2×3) + (2×2)/(3×2)

= 7 + 3/6 + 4/6

= 7 + (3+4)/6 = 7 7/6 = 8 1/6

6. 9/13 - 5/13 = (9-5)/13 = 4/13

7. 7 6/8 - 5 2/8

= (7-5) + (6/8 - 2/8)

= 2 + 4/8

= 2 1/2

8. 2/3 - 3/7

= (2×7)/(3×7) - (3×3)/(7×3)

= 14/21 - 9/21 = (14-9)/21 = 5/21

9. 11 1/5 - 5 4/5

= 10 6/5 - 5 4/5

= (10-5) + (6/5 - 4/5)

= 5 + 2/5 = 5 2/5

10. 15 4/5 - 7 7/10

= (15-7) + (4/5 - 7/10)

= 8 + (4×2)/(5×2) - 7/10

= 8 + 8/10 - 7/10

= 8 + 1/10

= 8 1/10
