Answer:

5029

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference between consecutive terms, that is

d = - 201 - (- 215) = - 187 - (- 201) = - 173 - (- 187) = 14

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with sum to n term

= [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 215 and d = 14 , then

= [ (2 × - 215) + (46 × 14) ]

= 23.5 (- 430 + 644)

= 23.5 × 214

= 5029

Zoe used 3/8 of her ribbon to wrap a present. If she uses 9 feet of ribbon for the present how much ribbon did Zoe have it first

MArishka [77]

Let the total ribbon Zoe had was x feet.

Out of x feet, she used 3/8 part of it.

Hence, $\frac{3x}{8}$

3/8 part of the original ribbon is equal to 9 feet.

Hence, we get

$\frac{3x}{8} = 9$

=> Multiply 8 on both sides.

$3x=72$

Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{72}{3}$

$x=24 ft$

Zoe had 24 feet of ribbon in starting... Answer
