Answer:
Add 7 black beads
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we can only change the number of black beads, decide how many black beads you will add based on how many white beads there are.
There are three white beads in the picture.
Total beads we will have (<em>b</em> meaning black) b : 3
Ratio black : white beads 3 : 1
Use the common ratio, which is a number that both sides of the original ratio multiply by to get to the new ratio.
Find common ratio by dividing total by ratio white beads: 3/1 = 3
Multiply ratio black beads by common ratio. 3 X 3 = 9
<u>We need 9 black beads in total</u>.
Check answer
9 : 3 Both sides divisible by 3; reduce ratio
= 3 : 1 Correct ratio
There will be a total of 9 black beads, but we already have 2 black beads:
(9 total) - (2 original) = (7 to add)
Therefore we need to add 7 black beads.
4th term = 29
to generate the terms, substitute n = 2, 3, 4 into the rule
noting that b(1) = - 7
b(2) = b(2 - 1) + 12 = b(1) + 12 = -7 + 12 = 5
b(3) = b(3 - 1) + 12 = b(2) + 12 = 5 + 12 = 17
b(4) = b(4 - 1) + 12 = b(3) + 12 = 17 + 12 = 29
A = (a+b)/2
2*A = 2*(a+b)/2 ... multiply both sides by 2
2A = a+b
2A-a = a+b-a ... subtract 'a' from both sides to isolate b
2A-a = b
b = 2A-a
Answer: b = 2A-a
It’s B. k. If you think about it and try to solve it in a notebook you’ll get the answer. Hope this helps
Answer:
8/3, or 2 if you want a whole number
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, the simple answer is 2/(3/4). This is nothing but 2*4/3, which is just 8/3. (I used the theorem that states that dividing is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal)
