Answer:3:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are 27 solid spheres of  radius x cm

The volume of a sphere is \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

The volume of 27 old spheres is the same as the volume of a new sphere

The volume of the old spheres is

V_o=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi x^3

The volume of a new sphere is

V_n=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi y^3

Now,V_o=V_n

\Rightarrow 27\times \dfrac{4}{3}\pi x^3=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi y^3\\\\\Rightarrow (\dfrac{x}{y})^3=27\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{y}=3

you purchase 2 action figures a week. you have 48 action figures, which is 75% of the total number of action figures you need to
notka56 [123]

Answer:

8 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

48 is 75%

x is 100%

48×100=4800

75x=4800

x=4800:75

x=64

64-48=16

16:2=8

Answer is 8 weeks

Concentrate and water are mixed to make juice. Which is the stronger
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

As a fraction, A is 3/8 concentrate in final product and B is 4/11.

A is, in other words, 33/88, and B is 36/88 concentrate in the final mixture.

So Mixture B is stronger, slightly.

Note that in order to make the fractions the same denominator, we had to 'expand' each fraction with the denominator of the other fraction. After that, the numbers are really easy to compare.

Part A

Answer: The common ratio is -2

-----------------------------------

Explanation: 

To get the common ratio r, we divide any term by the previous one

One example:
r = common ratio
r = (second term)/(first term)
r = (-2)/(1)
r = -2

Another example:
r = common ratio
r = (third term)/(second term)
r = (4)/(-2)
r = -2
and we get the same common ratio every time

Side Note: each term is multiplied by -2 to get the next term

============================================================
Part B

Answer:
The rule for the sequence is 
a(n) = (-2)^(n-1)
where n starts at n = 1

-----------------------------------

Explanation:

Recall that any geometric sequence has the nth term
a(n) = a*(r)^(n-1)
where the 'a' on the right side is the first term and r is the common ratio

The first term given to use is a = 1 and the common ratio found in part A above was r = -2
So,
a(n) = a*(r)^(n-1)
a(n) = 1*(-2)^(n-1)
a(n) = (-2)^(n-1)

============================================================
Part C

Answer: The next three terms are 16, -32, 64

-----------------------------------

Explanation:

We can simply multiply each previous term by -2 to get the next term. Do this three times to generate the next three terms

-8*(-2) = 16
16*(-2) = -32
-32*(-2) = 64

showing that the next three terms are 16, -32, and 64

An alternative is to use the formula found in part B

Plug in n = 5 to find the fifth term
a(n) = (-2)^(n-1)
a(5) = (-2)^(5-1)
a(5) = (-2)^(4)
a(5) = 16 .... which matches with what we got earlier

Then plug in n = 6
a(n) = (-2)^(n-1)
a(6) = (-2)^(6-1)
a(6) = (-2)^(5)
a(6) = -32 .... which matches with what we got earlier

Then plug in n = 7
a(n) = (-2)^(n-1)
a(7) = (-2)^(7-1)
a(7) = (-2)^(6)
a(7) = 64 .... which matches with what we got earlier

while the second method takes a bit more work, its handy for when you want to find terms beyond the given sequence (eg: the 28th term)
