Answer:
= 1+2n and 63
Step-by-step explanation:
the question belongs to arithmetic sequence and can be determined by the formula
= a1 + d (n-1)
Let " " represents the number of band members in the nth row
and 'd' represents the common difference.( as stated each row has 2 more band members than the row before it)
therefore, d=2
'a1' represents first row that has three members. So, a1 = 3
->Rule for nth term will be:
= 3 + 2(n-1)
= 3 + 2n -2
= 1+2n
-> In order to find total number of band members '
'
Let 
represent total number in n rows
We'll use the formula, i.e = n/1 (
+ )
where, n is the number of terms, is the first term and is the last term
So,
n=7
= 1 + 2(7)= 15
=> = 7/2 (3 + 15)
= 63
The total number of band members are 63
Increase.
1/4 can be translated to 25%
1/2 can be translated to 50%
25% to 50% is an increase.
No, probably is on a scale between 0 and 1. Anything beyond those numbers is mathematically impossible. Since 3/2 = 1.5, it is not valid
the easiest way is to make the fractions the same, with common denominators.
that means you have to multiply (1/4) by 2, to make it 2/8.
then you can see that she can make 3 total trips, not including driving back home.
