Answer:
18 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll find out how much of the total container was lost when pouring out by subtracting 2/3 from 1/2.
2/3 = 4/6
1/2 = 3/6
4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6
1/6 of the total amount the container could hold was lost when 3 gallons was poured out. This means that 1/6 of the container equals to 3 gallons. We can then simply multiply 3 by 6 to find the number of gallons of liquid the container can hold.
3 * 6 = 18 gallons
Checking my answer:
18 * 2/3 = 6 * 2 = 12
12 - 3 = 9
1/2 of 18 = 9
This means that our answer is correct.
The scale that will produce the smallest drawing would be b) 1mm:50m.
First, I converted all the measurements to centimeters:
a) 1cm:500cm
b) 0.01cm:5000cm
c) 5cm:1000cm
d) 10cm:2500cm
Then, you divide the scales:
a) 0.002
b) 0.000002
c) 0.005
d) 0.004
B is the smallest number, meaning it will be the smallest scale.
add 4 each time
the nth term is a_n or f(n)
the next term after that is a_{n+1} or f(n+1)
so each term is 4 more than previous
basically
a_{n+1}=4+a_n or
f(n+1)=4+f(n)
same thing
