The number of buckets is directly proportional to the area and the thickness of the wall and inversely proportional to the amount of paint. Mathematically, we can write:
n = k · (a · t) / p
where k is the proportionality constant which we do not know.
We can calculate k with the given data: 5 2-gallon buckets, area of 100 square feet and thickness 3 inches:
k = (n · p) / (<span>a · t)
= (5 </span>· 2) / (100 · 3) = 0.0333
Now that we know the constant, we can calculate the area that can be painted with 8 2-gallon buckets if the thickness is 6 inches:
a = (n · p) / (k<span> · t)
= (8 </span>· 2) / (0.0333 · 6)
= 80 ft²
Please, note that we made sure to have the exact same units of measurements than the previous case.
Therefore, the correct answer is an area of 80 ft².
Hello :
<span>the nth term of a geometric sequence is :
Un = Up ×r^(n-p) . r is the common ratio
for : p=5 and n= 2
U5 = U2 ×r^3
16 = -2 r^3
r^3 = -8
but : -8 = (-2)^3
so : r = -2
Un = U2 × r^(n-2)
Un = -2 ×(-2)^(n-2)= (-2)^(n-2+1)
</span><span>the nth term of a geometric sequenceis : Un = (-2)^(n-1)</span>
