Answer:

8th term is 179.15904

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is geometric with a common ration = 6/5

r = 60/50 = 72/60 = 6/5

Use the formula

$a_{n} = ar^{n - 1}$

In your case a = 50, r = 6/5 and n = 8

$a_{8} = 50(6/5)^{8 - 1} \\ = 50(6/5)^{7} \\ = 50(279936/78125)\\ = 179.15904$

Calculate the cost of manufacturing a standard cereal box if cardboard costs $0.05 per square inch.

leonid [27]

The volume of the box in this problem doesn't really matter, considering that a cereal box is hollow. Assuming the surface area is 174 inches², then you can simply multiply 0.05 x 174, which is 8.7. Then put that number in the form of money to get $8.70. (seems a bit pricey for one cereal box to me ;P)

The speed of a stream is 4 mph a boat travels 3 miles upstream in the same time it takes to travel 11 miles downstream what is t

$\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
upstream&3&r-4&t\\
downstrea&11&r+4&t
\end{array}\\\\\\ recall\implies d=rt\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\

\begin{cases}
3=(r-4)(t)
\\\\
11=(r+4)(t)\\
--------------\\
3=(r-4)(t)\to \frac{3}{r-4}=\boxed{t}\qquad thus
\\\\
11=(r+4)(t)\to 11=(r+4)\left( \boxed{\frac{3}{r-4}}\right)
\end{cases}$
