<u>Number of terms = 48</u>

<u>common difference = 1.5</u>

This question involves the concept of Arithmetic Progression.

  • The formula for sum of an arithmetic progression series with first and last term given is;

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2}(a + l)

where;

a = first term

l = last term

n = number of terms

  • From the given sequence, we see that;

first term; a = 4

last term; l = 76

Sum of A.P; S_{n} = 1920

  • Plugging in relevant values into the sum of an AP formula, we have;

1920 = \frac{n}{2}(4 + 76)

simplifying this gives;

1920 = 40n

n = 1920/40

n = 48

  • Formula for nth term of an AP is;

t_{n} = a_{1} + (n - 1)d

where;

a_{1} is first term

d is common difference

n is number of term

t_{n} is the nth term in question

the 48th term is 76

Thus;

76 = 4 + (48 - 1)d

76 - 4 = 47d

72 = 47d

d = 72/47

d ≈ 1.5

Thus;

Number of terms = 48

common difference = 1.5

Mon wants to make 5 lbs of the sugar syrup. How much water and how much sugar does he need…
nata0808 [166]
Whatever% of anything, is just (whatever/100) * anything.

the syrup is going to be 5lbs total, that includes the sugar in it as well as the water mix.

keeping in mind that the syrup will be a 1.5% syrup, namely 1.5% of it will be sugar, the rest just water then, how much is 1.5% of 5?

well, is just(1.5/100) * 5 or 0.075, namely lbs.

so, 0.075 lbs will be sugar and the rest water, the rest will be 5 - 0.075, or 4.925 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 42 = 18x - 12 (alternate angles)

or, 18x - 6x = 42+12

or, 12x = 54

or, x = 54/12

x= 4.5
