<h3>Answer:  21</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

Let's see if we can find a pattern where we divide powers of 3 over 30

In other words, let's see if we can find a pattern for (3^n)/30 where n is a natural number {1,2,3,4,...}

We only care about the remainders so ignore the quotients.

This is the pattern of remainders:

  • 3^1 = 3. When divided over 30, we get remainder 3.
  • 3^2 = 9. When divided over 30, we get remainder 9.
  • 3^3 = 27. When divided over 30, we get remainder 27.
  • 3^4 = 81. When divided over 30, we get remainder 21.
  • 3^5 = 243. When divided over 30, we get remainder 3.
  • 3^6 = 729. When divided over 30, we get remainder 9.

We see the pattern repeating again after we get to remainder 3 a second time. The pattern of remainders is {3, 9, 27, 21} which repeats forever.

The length of this cycle is 4. So what we do is divide the exponent by 4 to see what the remainder is. For instance, both 1 and 5 lead the same remainder when we divide by 4. This tells us 3^1 and 3^5 lead to the same remainder as shown in the pattern above.

Similarly, 3^2 and 3^6 lead to the same remainder. These items are spaced exactly four units apart, which is the length of the cycle.

For the exponent 2020, we get 2020/4 = 505 remainder 0

Having a remainder 0 is the same as having remainder 4, when dividing by 4.

So we'll be looking in the fourth slot of the cycle {3,9,27,21} to see the answer is 21.

Dividing 3^2020 over 30 leads to a remainder of 21.

Answer:

Third sequence (7, 2, 1, -4, -10)

In the first sequence, -4 has to be in front of -10 because it is larger.

In the second sequence, 7 goes in the beginning, with 2 then 1 following, with -4 behind and -10 behind -4.

In the third option, 7 must be in the front, with 2, 1, then -4, then -10 following.

The answer = third sequence.

Hope it helped!

What would 5.36 be in a fraction<br> Please explain how you got the answer too.
garri49 [273]
So you have 5.36
that is 5 wholes and 0.36
0.36 can be written on a fraction of 36/100
simplify it to 9/25
Now you have the mixed number
5  9/25 or to write it into an improper fraction... multiply 25 * 5 then add 9, that is 134/25.

Hope this helps
