Answer:

27 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

33% of 24.5 is 8.1 ounces

.3 oz / 1 min = 8.1 oz / 'x' min

cross-multiply:

.3x = 8.1

x = 8.1 / .3

x = 27

What is the common ratio for the geometric sequence? 32, 8, 2, 12, ... Enter your answer in the box.

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Given sequence is not a geometric progression and there will be no common ration for this sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Need to determine common ration for the following geometric sequence

32, 8, 2, 12, ...

In given geometric sequence

a1 = 32, a2=8, a3=2, a4=12 ……….

Common ratio = $\frac{a_2}{a_1} =\frac{a_3}{a_2} =\frac{a_4}{a_3}$

$\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{8}{32}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{a_3}{a_2} =\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{a_4}{a_3}=\frac{12}{2}=6$

Since $\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{a_3}{a_2}\neq\frac{a_4}{a_3}$ so we can say that given sequence is not a geometric progression and there will no no common ration for this sequence.

A scale has a percent error of 7%. The scale reads the mass of a book as 450g. Which statement describes what the actual mass of

ozzi

Answer:

The actual mass of the book is between 481 . 5 g and 418 . 5 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of the book on the scale = 450 g

The percentage error in the scale = 7%

So, the actual mass of the book is 450 g ± 7%

Now, 7 % of the mass 450 g = $\frac{7}{100} \times 450 = 31.5$

⇒ 7% of 450 g = 31.5 g

Now, the Actual mass of the book = 450 g ± 31.5 g

450 g + 31.5 g = 481 . 5 g

450 g - 31.5 g = 418 . 5 g

Hence the actual mass of the book is between 481 . 5 g and 418 . 5 g.
