Answer:

2067 voters

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that three out of five voters support a candidate.

This means 3/5 votes support a candidate

Let the total number rod candidates be represented as x

If 1,240 voters support the candidate,

how many voters participated in the election in all?

Hence,

3/5 of x = 1240 voters.

3/5 × x = 1240

3x /5 = 1240

Cross Multiply

3x = 1240 × 5

x = 1240 × 5/3

x = 2066.6666667 voters

Approximately to the nearest whole number:

2067 voters

what is the sum of a 7-term geometric series if the first term is negative 11 the last turn is -45056 and the common ratio is -4
patriot [66]
For a geometric sequence with common ratio r, we have

a_n=a_{n-1}r


that is, the n-th term in the sequence is the product of the previous term and the common ratio r. So

a_n=a_{n-1}r=a_{n-2}r^2=\cdots=a_1r^{n-1}

Then the sum of the first 7 terms is

S_7=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^7a_n=a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_7
\implies S_7=a_1+a_1r+\cdots+a_1r^6

Notice that

S_7r=a_1r+a_1r^2+\cdots+a_1r^7

so we can subtract this modified sum from S_7 to get

S_7-S_7r=S_7(1-r)=a_1-a_1r^7\implies S_7=a_1\dfrac{1-r^7}{1-r}

We're told that a_1=-11 and r=-4, so the sum of the first 7 terms is

S_7=(-11)\dfrac{1-(-4)^7}{1-(-4)}=144,188

Solve -5t = 60 <br><br> 65<br> -6<br> 6<br> 55
defon
When you are asked to solve an equation, you need to isolate the variable which is t in this case. To isolate t, you would divide both sides by -5 and be left with t=-6 which is the final answer.

I hope this helps.

What is the range of the data in this stem-and-leaf plot? 2 14 19 32.5 Stem and leaf plot. Vertical line separates each stem fro
inysia [295]

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Stem   Leaves

2    |      6, 7, 7

3    |      0, 2, 3, 3, 4.

4    |      0, 5

To Find: What is the range of the data in this stem-and-leaf plot?

Solution :

Since we are given key 3 vertical line 0 equals 30.

So, in the given stem leaf plot the number are :

26,27,27,30,32,33,33,34,40,45

Now Range = maximum number   -  minimum number

Range = 45-26

Range = 19

Hence The range of the data in this stem-and-leaf plot is 19
