Answer:
Hello!
Let's simply divide our two numbers to find how many carriages we need.
22/4=5.5
The thing is, we cannot have 5.5 carriages. We can just have an extra carriage with only 2 people. This gives us 6 carriages.
Therefore, our answer is 6.
I hope this helps!
So we need to find the sum of the first 5 terms.
You have told me that the first term is 10 meters, and that r = 0.5 per term.
With this knowledge, we can use the formula s_n=a₁((1-r^n)/(1-r)).
Plugging in the terms that we know...
s₅=10((1-0.5⁵)/(1-0.5))
s₅=10(0.96875/0.5)
s₅=10(1.9375)
s₅=19.375
With s₅, we can determine that the ball has traveled a total of 19.375 meters after 5 bounces.
A= (a+b/2) × h
Is the formula for a trapezoid
