It is in the form y = mx + b. therefore it is linear.
Given:
7 red candies
9 blue candies
12 pink candies
Condition:
Number of bags that has equal number of candies.
We can do 7 bags with 1 colored candy each. There will be an excess of 2 blue candies and 5 pink candies.
We can do 4 bags with 1 red candy, 2 blue candies, 3 pink candies. There will be an excess of 3 red candies and 1 blue candy.
We can do 3 bags with 2 red candies, 3 blue candies, 4 pink candies. There will be an excess of 1 red candy.
Since the sixth term is 1215 and the 5th term is 405, we know each term is 3 times more than the last.
Let 'n' represent the first term, then the sum of the first 9 terms can be written as:
n+3n+9n+27n+81n+243n+729n+2187n+6561n
which sinplifies to 9841n
since each term is 3 times the last, the first term must be 405 divided by 3, 4 times in total, which is 5
Now subsitute 'n' for 5, and we get 9841(5)
which is 49205 which is the answer.
Hope this helps
Answer:
Looks like all of your questions have been answered.
1.5 cleaner / 12 cups of water
or
1.5 cleaner : 12 cups of water
to reduce this ratio of 1.5:12, we need to divide both by the same number
1.5 divided by 1.5 is 1
12 divided by 1.5 is 8
So the ratio of cleaner to water is 1:8 in its simplest form or 1 part cleaner to 8 parts water.
Hope this helps!! :)
