Answer:

A) Together the boys didn't even cut half the yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount cut was ...

1/8 + 1/5 = 5/40 +8/40 = 13/40

This amount is less than half = 20/40, so choice A is appropriate.

_____

You can reason about these fractions several ways:

1. half is 2 1/2 fifths. 1/8 is less than 1/5, so 1/5+1/8 < (2 1/2)/5.

2. half is 4/8. 1/5 is more than 1/8 but is less than 2/8. 1/8 + 1/5 < 3/8 < 1/2

3. 1/5 < 1/4; 1/8 < 1/4; 1/2 = 2/4, so two amounts less than 1/4 cannot be more than 1/2.

What is the formula for the following geometric sequence?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Correct answer:  Third answer  aₙ = -5 · 2⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-5, -10, -20, -40,.....

First term       a₁ = -5

Second term a₂ = -10

Third term     a₃ = -20

Common ratio or quotient

q = a₂ / a₁ = a₃ / a₂ = -10 / -5 = -20 / -10 = 2

q = 2

First term  a₁

Second term a₂ = a₁ · q = a₂ · q²

Third term     a₃ = a₂ · q = a₁ · q³

.....................................................

n-th term aₙ = a₁ · q⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾

aₙ = -5 · 2⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾
