Answer:

the sum of the first 6 terms =189

Step-by-step explanation:

the first 6 terms-

96,48,24,12,6,3

I found them easily by dividing 48 with random small numbers until I got 6 for the fifth term. So here I divided 48 by 2 which is = 24(3rd term), then divided 24 by 2 which is =12(4th term) and then again decide the answer by 2 and finally got 6 for the 5th term. So the ratio is 1/2. For the first term I did the opposite, multiply 48 by 2 which is = 96. And lastly find the sixth term and add them up which is = 189

I tried my best to explain it in simple terms, hope this helps:)

Adam’s car traveled 465.3 miles on 16.5 gallons of gas. Which equation can be used to determine the average number of miles that

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

$y=28.5x$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

In this problem

Let

x------> the number of gallons

y------> the number of miles

the relationship between the number of miles and the gallons of gas represent a linear direct variation

The constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m

$m=\frac{465.3}{16.5}= 28.2\frac{miles}{gallon}$

therefore

the equation of the linear equation

$y=28.5x$

In the regual nonagon shown, what is the measure of angle x?

andre [41]

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is (n-2)*180, n being the number of sides.
a nonagon has nine sides, so the total of interior angles is (9-2)*180=7*180
this is a regular nonagon, so each interior angle has the same degrees:
7*180/9=7*20=140
the exterior angle=180-the interior angle=180-140=40
40 is the correct answer.

Plot the flowing points on the number line without measuring.

N76 [4]

Answer:

1/4, 3/5, 8/10

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 is greater than 1/4

(2/4 is equal to 2.5/5---that should give you a visual picture why)

8/10 is greater than 3/5

3/5 multipled by 2 is 6/10

so, 6/10<8/10
