Answer:

The answer is 25/24 or 1.041

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 5/6 and 5/8, you can't find the sum at that point. This means we will have to find a common denominator, which will be 24.

6 x 4 = 24 and 8 x 3 = 24

Doing this, you will have to multiply the numerator and denominator by the value the denominator needs to be multiplied by to get 24.

5/6 x 4/4 = 20/24 and 5/8 x 3/3 = 15/24

After getting these values, you can then add them.

20/24 + 15/24 = 25/24 or 1.041

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

2.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1 feet = 12 inches

The length is 16 ft x 12 = 192 inches

The length was scales by an unknown measure which i would represent with x . The equation is as follows

192 inches x a = 4 feet

a = 48

The kitchen was scaled by 48

10 x 12 = 120 inches

120/48 = 2.5 inches

30 points!! What is the sum of the first six terms of the series? 48 - 12 + 3 - 0.75 +...

Lunna [17]

Answer:

The sum of the first six terms is 38.39

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence since the common difference between each term is $-\frac{1}{4}$

Thus, $r=-\frac{1}{4}$

To find the sum of first six terms, we need to find the fifth and sixth term of the sequence.

To find the fifth term:

The general form of geometric sequence is $a_{n}=a_{1} \cdot r^{n-1}$

To find the fifth term, substitute $n=5$ in $a_{n}=a_{1} \cdot r^{n-1}$

$\begin{aligned}a_{5} &=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{5-1} \\&=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{4} \\&=(48)\left(\frac{1}{256}\right) \\a_{5} &=0.1875\end{aligned}$

To find the sixth term, substitute $n=6$ in $a_{n}=a_{1} \cdot r^{n-1}$

$\begin{aligned}a_{6} &=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{6-1} \\&=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{5} \\&=(48)\left(-\frac{1}{1024}\right) \\a_{5} &=-0.046875\end{aligned}$

To find the sum of the first six terms:

The general formula to find Sn for $|r|$ is $S_{n}=\frac{a\left(1-r^{n}\right)}{1-r}$

$\begin{aligned}S_{6} &=\frac{48\left(1-\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{6}\right)}{1-\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)} \\&=\frac{48\left(1-\frac{1}{4096}\right)}{1+\frac{1}{4096}} \\&=\frac{48(0.95)}{5} \\&=\frac{48(0.9998)}{5} \\&=\frac{48(0.9998)}{5} \\&=\frac{47.9904}{5} \\&=38.39\end{aligned}$

Thus, the sum of first six terms is 38.39
