Answer:
average speed for walking = 4.5 km/h
average speed for cycling = 23.2 km/h
Answer:
5 x 0.6 = 5 x 6tenths, as 6/10 = 0.6
= 30 tenths
7 x 0.8 = 7 x 8tenths, as 8/10 is 0.8
= 56 tenths

Answer: there would be 30 chairs
Step-by-step explanation:6 times 5 is 30.
When Sam is 13 his mother will be 39 which is 3 times as old as he is. So Sam's mother will be 3 times as old as Sam will be in 11 years. (Your answer is 11 years.)
Answer:
the common ratio is either 2 or -2.
the sum of the first 7 terms is then either 765 or 255
Step-by-step explanation:
a geometric sequence or series of progression (these are the most common names for the same thing) means that every new term of the sequence is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor which is called the common ratio.
so,
a1
a2 = a1×f
a3 = a2×f = a1×f²
a4 = a3×f = a1×f³
the problem description here tells us
a3 = 4×a1
and from above we know a3 = a1×f².
so, f² = 4
and therefore the common ratio = f = 2 or -2 (we need to keep that in mind).
again, the problem description tells us
a2 + a4 = 30
a1×f + a1×f³ = 30
for f = 2
a1×2 + a1×2³ = 30
2a1 + 8a1 = 30
10a1 = 30
a1 = 3
for f = -2
a1×-2 + a1×(-2)³ = 30
-10a1 = 30
a1 = -3
the sum of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is
sn = a1×(1 - f^(n+1))/(1-f) for f <>1
so, for f = 2
s7 = 3×(1 - 2⁸)/(1-2) = 3×-255/-1 = 3×255 = 765
for f = -2
s7 = -3×(1 - (-2)⁸)/(1 - -2) = -3×(1-256)/3 = -3×-255/3 =
= -1×-255 = 255
