Answer:

The first 5 terms are 2, 5, 8, 11, 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the formula to find out each term.
f(n)=3n-1 starting with n=1. If n=1 that is the 1st term, if n=2 that is the 2nd term, and so on. n means what number term it is.
Now to find each term:

n=1: f(1)= 3(1)-1= 3-1= 2 The 1st term is 2
n=2: f(2)= 3(2)-1= 6-1= 5 The 2nd term is 5
n=3: f(3)= 3(3)-1= 9-1=8 The 3rd term is 8
n=4: f(4)= 4(3)-1= 12-1= 11 The 4th term is 11
n=5: f(5)= 5(3)-1= 15-1= 14 The 5th term is 14

So the first 5 terms are 2,5,8,11,14

A group of hikers walked 2 3/5 miles along a hiking trail. Another group of hikers walked 1/2 that distance with the first group

inn [45]

Answer:

$1 \frac{3}{10}$ miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a group of hikers walked $2 \frac{3}{5}$ miles along a hiking trail. Another group of hikers walked $\frac{1}{2}$ that distance with the first group before turning off onto another trail. Now we need to find about how many miles did the two groups of hikers walk with each other.

To find that we just need to find half of $2 \frac{3}{5}$

= $\frac{1}{2}\left(2\frac{3}{5}\right)$

= $\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{13}{5}\right)$

= $\frac{1*13}{2*5}$

= $\frac{13}{10}$

= $1 \frac{3}{10}$

Hence final answer is $1 \frac{3}{10}$ miles.

At a warehouse,127 delivery trucks were loaded w 48 packages on each truck.Estimatethe total number of packages on the trucks. W

klasskru [66]

Answer:

<em>n= Total number of packages on trucks= 6096</em>

<em>n = T x P (Model Equation)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

No. Of delivery trucks = T = 127

Package on each truck = P = 48

Total number of packages on trucks =n= ?

Each truck contains 48 packages and total trucks were 127, to find total number of packages on trucks , we just need to multiply the number of trucks with the number of package on each truck.

Total number of packages on trucks =n= (No. Of delivery trucks) x (Package on each truck)

n = T x P (Model Equation)

n= 127 x 48

n= 6096 (Total number of packages on trucks)
