Answer:
9.85 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distance between given points be d.

If the entire race is 40 miles, then the second checkpoint is 3/4 of the whole way, which is 30 miles because 40 ÷ 4 = 10 and 10 x 3 = 30. This means that there are 30 miles between the start and the second checkpoint. 2/5 of 30 is 12 because 30 ÷ 5 = 6 and 6 x 2 = 12. Therefore, the answer is 12 miles
Answer:
72 Wrong, so find how many are right with 135 total
Step-by-step explanation:
It's similar to saying if she answered half and this continued how many would she have answered after answering a bigger number, you would say half.
so she answered 8/15 incorrectly a a smaller number, so she will answer that ratio with a bigger number. If it helps 8/15 is about 53%. just like 1/2 is half. So to find half you would multiply something by 1/2 and int he same way you multiply something by 8/15 to get that proportion of it.
so 135, if you take this 53%, or simply multiply it by 8/15 you get your answer of 72. So 72 wrong so al others are right, which you get with 135-72 = 63.
You could also do 135*(1-8/15) = 135 * 7/15. if you ever want to find something NOT part of the proportion you do 1 - that proportion.

Answer:
(b) a[1] = -7, a[n] = a[n-1] + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Comparing the given formula to the general form for the n-th term of an arithmetic sequence ...
an = a1 +d(n -1)
we see that the first term (a1) is -7, and the common difference (d) is +3.
The recursive version of the sequence definition is ...
a[1] = a1
a[n] = a[n-1] +d
So, the appropriate choice is ...
a[1] = -7, a[n] = a[n-1] +3
Hey!
Alright, according to P.E.M.D.A.S., the first step to solving this expression is to distribute.
<em>Original Expression :</em>

<em>New Expression {Distributed Old Expression} :</em>

Now all you have to do is simplify the parenthesis.
<em>Old Expression :</em>

<em>New Expression {Simplified} :</em>

<em>So, since the expression can no longer be simplified, the final answer is...</em>
