1647. 1 hour=60 minutes. John can mow 247 square feet per minute, so he can mow 60*247=14820 square feet per hour. 1 yard=3 feet, so 1 square yard =3^2=9 square feet, so in the same duration of time, John can mow 14820/9=1647 square yards (approximately) per hour.

What is the answer to 3/4 +1/3
Elis [28]
Well, to add fractions, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the smallest common denominator would be 12. So you must multiply each fraction so that both denominators are 12.
3/4*3/3=9/12
1/3*4/4=4/12
Add those two fractions together, reduce if possible, and you have your answer!
9/12+4/12=13/12
You can't reduce, so 13/12 is your answer.
Hope it helps!

What is a quick and easy way to remember explicit and recursive formulas?
Oliga [24]
I always found derivation to be helpful in remembering. Since this question is tagged as at the middle school level, I assume you've only learned about arithmetic and geometric sequences.

First, remember what these names mean. An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which consecutive terms are increased by a fixed amount; in other words, it is an additive sequence. If a_n is the nth term in the sequence, then the next term a_{n+1} is a fixed constant (the common difference d) added to the previous term. As a recursive formula, that's

a_{n+1}=a_n+d

This is the part that's probably easier for you to remember. The explicit formula is easily derived from this definition. Since a_{n+1}=a_n+d, this means that a_n=a_{n-1}+d, so you plug this into the recursive formula and end up with 

a_{n+1}=(a_{n-1}+d)+d=a_{n-1}+2d

You can continue in this pattern, since every term in the sequence follows this rule:

a_{n+1}=a_{n-1}+2d
a_{n+1}=(a_{n-2}+d)+2d
a_{n+1}=a_{n-2}+3d
a_{n+1}=(a_{n-3}+d)+3d
a_{n+1}=a_{n-3}+4d

and so on. You start to notice a pattern: the subscript of the earlier term in the sequence (on the right side) and the coefficient of the common difference always add up to n+1. You have, for example, (n-2)+3=n+1 in the third equation above.

Continuing this pattern, you can write the formula in terms of a known number in the sequence, typically the first one a_1. In order for the pattern mentioned above to hold, you would end up with

a_{n+1}=a_1+nd

or, shifting the index by one so that the formula gives the nth term explicitly,

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

Now, geometric sequences behave similarly, but instead of changing additively, the terms of the sequence are scaled or changed multiplicatively. In other words, there is some fixed common ratio r between terms that scales the next term in the sequence relative to the previous one. As a recursive formula,

a_{n+1}=ra_n

Well, since a_n is just the term after a_{n-1} scaled by r, you can write

a_{n+1}=r(ra_{n-1})=r^2a_{n-1}

Doing this again and again, you'll see a similar pattern emerge:

a_{n+1}=r^2a_{n-1}
a_{n+1}=r^2(ra_{n-2})
a_{n+1}=r^3a_{n-2}
a_{n+1}=r^3(ra_{n-3})
a_{n+1}=r^4a_{n-3}

and so on. Notice that the subscript and the exponent of the common ratio both add up to n+1. For instance, in the third equation, 3+(n-2)=n+1. Extrapolating from this, you can write the explicit rule in terms of the first number in the sequence:

a_{n+1}=r^na_1

or, to give the formula for a_n explicitly,

a_n=r^{n-1}a_1

Write the percent as a decimal and as a fraction.
Xelga [282]
<span>To write 215% as a decimal you can approach the problem two ways. You can divide 215 by 100. 215/100 = 2.15 You can also move the decimal two places to the left 215.0 = 2.15 To write 2.15 as a fraction you will place 215 over 100. {215/100}. You will then want to write this fraction in it’s simplest form. The greatest common denominator is 5 so you will then divide the numerator and denominator by 5. 215/5 = 43 100/5 = 20 215/100 = 43/20 To write this fraction as a mixed fraction you would divide 43 by 20. 43 ÷ 20 = 2 with a remainder of 3 This is written as: 2 3/20</span>

mash [69]

2 meters are 200 centimeters

you will need to know how many friends she has...

but, supposing she has 4 friends, each friend would get 50 centimeters...

i'm not really sure how to write that in a mixed number, but I hope this helps!!
