If you compare table values to answer choices, you can see right away that several don't work. The number of centimeters is greater than the number of inches, so adding to or multiplying the number of centimeters by some number more than 1 will not give you the smalller number that is inches.
While it may work for the first number (5 inches) to add 7.7 to get the first number of centimeters (12.7), you have to know that you can only add like to like. You can only add inches to inches (getting a result of inches), or centimeters to centimeters (getting a result of centimeters). From the point of view of the units involved, it is <em>nonsensical</em> to add a pure number to a number of inches and expect to get a number of centimeters.
So, we're down to the second choice:
- The number of inches is multiplied by 2.54 to find the number of centimeters.
_____
To find the pattern in the table, you can ...
- observe that the inch values differ by 1
- observe that the centimeter values differ by 2.54
- realize that the constant differences mean the relation between inches and centimeters is linear, and that a change in an inch value of 1 inch is multiplied by 2.54 to find the corresponding change in centimeter value.
_____
I don't know what the first step in your problem solving process is supposed to be. In my problem solving process, the first step is always to <em>look at what you are given</em>. The next step is <em>look at what you are being asked for</em>.
When u add it stays the same but for subtraction u change the sign.
Example: 2- (-5)=7
Answer:
option C
c.
least: $101
greatest: $1001
Step-by-step explanation:
A radio station advertises a contest with ten cash prizes totaling $5510. There is to be a $100 difference between each successive prize.
Sum of 10 prizes = 5510
100 is the difference. there is a common difference d=100
So its a arithmetic sequence
the sum formula for arithmetic sequence is
Sn = 5510, n=10 n d= 100 we need to find out first term a1
5510 = 5 (2a1 + 900)
5510 = 10a1 + 4500
Subtract 4500 on both sides
1010= 10a1
divide by 10 on both sides
a1 = 101
so first term that is least term is 101
To find out greatest term we use formula
a(10) = 101 + (10-1)100
= 101 + 900= 1001
greatest is 1001
