Todd plans to swim 900 yards in a pool. So far Todd has swam 720 yards. What percentage of the total has Todd completed?

2 answers:

7 0

Ok, so the answer is 80%. How I got this, I did the cross-product method. On one side, I did x/100, and the other, I did 720/900. And I multiplied 720 by 100, and got 72,000. And I also did 900 Times x, and got 900x. So, the new equation is 72000 = 900x. I divided 72000 by 900, and got 80, which is the percentage. (Picture of Cross-Product Method)

Which of the following is an arithmetic sequence?

enot [183]

Answer:

The third sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between two consecutive terms is the same.

For each option, find the difference between consecutive terms:

First option:

$4 - 2 = 2$ .
$8 - 4 = 4$ .
$16 - 8 = 8$ .

The differences are not the same. As a result, this option is not an arithmetic sequence.

Second option:

$4 - 12 = -8$ .
$\displaystyle \frac{4}{3} - 4 = -\frac{8}{3}$ .
$\displaystyle \frac{16}{3} - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{12}{3} = 4$ .

The differences are not the same. As a result, this option is not an arithmetic sequence, either.

Third option:

$\displaystyle -\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = -1$ .
$\displaystyle -\frac{3}{2} - \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) = -\frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = -1$ .
$\displaystyle -\frac{5}{2} - \left(-\frac{3}{2}\right) = -\frac{5}{2} + \frac{3}{2} = -1$ .

The differences are all $-1$ . As a result, this option is indeed an arithmetic sequence. Its common difference is $(-1)$ .

Fourth option:

$\displaystyle -\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = -1$ .
$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} - \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 1$ .
$\displaystyle -\frac{1}{2}\right - \frac{1}{2} = -1$ .
