Answer:

6 containers needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total = 12\frac{1}{2}\ lb ----- Size

Container = 2\frac{1}{4}\ lb ----- Size

Required

Determine the number of containers needed

This question illustrates the knowledge of fraction and division.

To get the number of containers needed, we simply divide the total size by the size of the container as follows;

Number = Total/Container

Number = 12\frac{1}{2}/2\frac{1}{4}

Convert to improper fractions

Number = \frac{25}{2}/\frac{9}{4}

Number = \frac{25}{2}*\frac{4}{9}

Number = \frac{100}{18}

Number = 5.5555556

Number = 6 --- Approximated

The general term of an arithmetic sequence is tn = 32 + 3n, where n ∈N and n ≥ 1. The sequence is
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

D) 35, 38, 41, 44, 47, 50,...

Step-by-step explanation:

The general term of an arithmetic sequence is

t_n=32+3n, where n ∈N and n ≥ 1.

When n=1,

t_1=32+3(1)=35

When n=2,

t_2=32+3(2)=38

When n=3,

t_3=32+3(3)=41

When n=4,

t_4=32+3(4)=44

When n=5,

t_5=32+3(5)=47

When n=6,

t_6=32+3(6)=50

Hence the sequence is 35, 38, 41, 44, 47, 50,...

The correct answer is D
