Answer:
1. 15
2. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The two sequence are geometric progression GP, because they follow a constant multiple (common ratio)
The nth term of a GP is;
Tn = ar^(n-1)
Where;
a = first term
r = common ratio
For the first sequence;
The common ratio r is
r = T3/T2 = 540/90 = 6
r = 6
T2 = ar^(2-1) = ar
T2 = 90 = ar
Substituting the values of r;
90 = a × 6
a = 90/6
a = 15
First term = 15
2. The sam method applies here.
Common ratio r = T3/T2 = 128/32 = 4
r = 4
T2 = ar^(2-1) = ar
T2 = 32 = ar
Substituting the values of r;
32 = a × 4
a = 32/4
a = 8
First term = 8
Answer:
x = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles around point O = 360°, thus
x + 3x + 256 = 360 , that is
4x + 256 = 360 ( subtract 256 from both sides )
4x = 104 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 26
450 g in 2:13
<u>Total proportion asked for </u>=2+13=15
<u>Now comparing g with ratio, or whatever </u>
450/15=30g 
Therefore 1 in ratio depicts of 30g
So final answer =
