If the series is made up of numbers in an arithmetic progression, you have
where
is the first term and
is the common difference between terms.
Since the last term in the series is
, you have
Solve the system
and you'll find that the first term is
(with
).
Answer:
Luis bought 5 packages of candy and 5 bags of chips
Step-by-step explanation:
1.25 for candy
0.50 for chips
1.25c + 0.50c = 8.75
First I tried to see how many times I could multiply 1.25, the answer that made the most sense was 5 because not only is 5 + 5 = 10, but when it equals the amount of money. So I changed my equation:
1.25(5) + 0.5(5)
6.25 + 2.5 = 8.75
25 meters per second x 60 seconds = 1500 meters per minute
1500 meters per minute x 60 minutes per hour = 90,000 meters per hour
1 mile = 1609.34 meters
90000/1609.34 = 55.92 miles per hour
round answer to either 55.9 or 56 mph depending on what you need.
