False, 24 x 10 x 90 = 21,600, 90 x 2,400 = 216,000
Hello! Sorry that I'm late. Okay, so each batch calls for 2 2/3 cups of granola and 1 1/3 cups of peanuts. Let's divide the number of cups available total by the amount per batch. To divide fractions, keep the first fraction the same, change division into multiplication, and flip the other faction over. Let's do it. 12/1 * 3/8 = 36/8 or 4 1/2 in mixed number form. 17/2 * 3/4 = 51/8 or 6 3/8 in simplest form. You can only make 4 full batches of trail mix, because you can only use the full serving of both granola AND peanuts for 4 of them.
In a geometric sequence each number after the first is found by multiplying the previous number by a fixed number called the common ratio.
In an arithmetic sequence, each term is equal to the previous term plus or minus a constant called the common difference.
In your problem we have a sequence of numbers that appears to be decreasing in value, but on the surface it doesn't appear to be by any constant number... but if you look closely, the denominator 34 is exactly twice the other denominator 17. This would lead me to look at a common denominator to see if anything takes shape...
9/17 = 18/34
15/34
6/17 = 12/34
9/34
Now we see that each number is the previous number minus 3/34, so we have a common difference of 3/34.
This would match the definition of an arithmetic sequence and NOT a geometric sequence.
Answer:
The entire floor can contain approximately 4178 fans
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to calculate the area of the basketball floor.
we can do this by multiplying the length by the breadth as such 94 X 50 = 4700 square feet.
The second step is to calculate the area occupied by 8 of the fans. We can do this by multiplying 3 ft by 3ft = 9 square feet.
From this, it will be easier to estimate the area occupied by only one fan. This can be got by dividing 9 square feet by 8.
This is = 1.125 square feet.
To get the number of students it can occupy, we divide the total area of the court by the area occupied by one student.
4700/ 1.125 =4177.8 4178 fans
