Answer:

520

Step-by-step explanation:

20% are red which means 130 are red

650-130= 520

or you could look at it this way

if 20% is red that means 80% is not red

80% of 650 is 520

the 11th term in a geometric sequence is 48 and the common ratio is 4. the 12th term is 192 and the 10th term is what?

Soloha48 [4]

Given:

The 11th term in a geometric sequence is 48.

The 12th term in the sequence is 192.

The common ratio is 4.

We need to determine the 10th term of the sequence.

General term:

The general term of the geometric sequence is given by

$a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$

where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

The 11th term is given is

$a_{11}=a(4)^{11-1}$

$48=a(4)^{10}$ ------- (1)

The 12th term is given by

$192=a(4)^{11}$ ------- (2)

Value of a:

The value of a can be determined by solving any one of the two equations.

Hence, let us solve the equation (1) to determine the value of a.

Thus, we have;

$48=a(1048576)$

Dividing both sides by 1048576, we get;

$\frac{3}{65536}=a$

Thus, the value of a is $\frac{3}{65536}$

Value of the 10th term:

The 10th term of the sequence can be determined by substituting the values a and the common ratio r in the general term $a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$ , we get;

$a_{10}=\frac{3}{65536}(4)^{10-1}$

$a_{10}=\frac{3}{65536}(4)^{9}$

$a_{10}=\frac{3}{65536}(262144)$

$a_{10}=\frac{786432}{65536}$

$a_{10}=12$

Thus, the 10th term of the sequence is 12.

Carlos used 6 boards to build 2/3 of a front porch. How many boards will Carlos use to build the whole porch? Express your answe

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

9 boards

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 of the porch= 6 boards

so to figure out how much one third of the porch needs you find half of what it takes to fill in 2/3 of the porch and you get 3.

so 3=1/3 of the porch

then you simply do 3times 3 or 3+3+3 and you get 9

so it takes 9 boards to fill the whole porch

3. Sam and Tim each have savings accounts. Every month they each put in some of their

Setler [38]

Answer:

$y = 30x +50$ --- Sam

$y = 20x +80$ --- Tim

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sam Tim

х --- f(x) --------------- g(x)

1 --- 80 --------------- 100

2 --- 110 --------------- 120

3 --- 140 --------------- 140

4 --- 170 -------------- 160

Required

Determine the y value

y value implies the equation of the table

Calculating the equation of Sam

First, we need to take any corresponding values of x and y

$(x_1,y_1) = (1,80)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (4,170)$

Next, we calculate the slope (m)

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{170 - 80}{4 - 1}$

$m = \frac{90}{3}$

$m = 30$

Next, we calculate the line equation using:

$y - y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y - 80 = 30(x - 1)$

$y - 80 = 30x - 30$

Make y the subject

$y = 30x - 30 + 80$

$y = 30x +50$

Calculating the equation of Tim

First, we need to take any corresponding values of x and y

$(x_1,y_1) = (1,100)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (4,160)$

Next, we calculate the slope (m)

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{160 - 100}{4 - 1}$

$m = \frac{60}{3}$

$m = 20$

Next, we calculate the line equation using:

$y - y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y - 100 = 20(x - 1)$

$y - 100 = 20x - 20$

Make y the subject

$y = 20x - 20+100$

$y = 20x +80$

11. A roofer calculates his bid price using the formula P = 1.85s + 4.2f, where s is the area of the roof in square feet and f i

storchak [24]

Replace f with 190, replace P with 4148 and solve for s:

4148 = 1.85s + 4.2(190)

Simplify:

4148 = 1.85 + 798

Subtract 798 from both sides:

3350 = 1.85s

Divide both sides by 1.85:

s = 1,810.81

Rounded to nearest square foot = 1811 square feet.
