0.25 is the same as 1/4 so we have to find what is 1/4 of 24.5. To find this we need to divide 24.5 by 4. 24.5 ÷ 4 = 6.125
The final answer is: The builder will use 6.125 acres for the park.
Is there a picture combined to this
Because the difference between any term and the previous term is a constant, this is an arithmetic sequence because of that constant which is referred to as the common difference, d. Which in this case is -35--38=-32--35=3
Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=initial term, d=common difference, n=term number.
In this case a=-38 and d=3 so
a(n)=-38+3(n-1) which we can simplify to
a(n)=-38+3n-3
a(n)=3n-41, so the 52nd term is:
a(52)=3(52)-41
a(52)=156-41
a(52)=115
