Answer:
The series
1 -0.5-2-3.5 -5-6.5-8-9.5-11-12.5-14-15.5 upto 12 terms
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i)</em></u>:-
Given series 1 -0.5 -2 +.........
we know that the sum of the sequence is called a series
The sequence is 1, -0.5, -2, -3.5,.....is in AP
a = 1 and the difference between the two terms is equal 'd' = -1.5
<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>
<u><em>adding 1.5 value of each term</em></u>
The series
1 -0.5-2-3.5 -5-6.5-8-9.5-11-12.5-14-15.5 upto 12 terms
<u><em></em></u>
1. It's all about pattern matching, as a lot of math is.
Letter A corresponds to letter J, as both are first in the names of their respective triangles.
Letter B corresponds to letter K, as both are second in the triangle names. Likewise, letter C corresponds to letter L, as both are last.
Realizing this, it should not be too much of a stretch to see
∠B ⇒ ∠K ∠C ⇒ ∠L AC ⇒ JL BC ⇒ KL2. Same deal. Match the patterns. Here, you're counting rings in the angle marks.
1 ⇒ 1, so A ⇒ R
2 ⇒ 2, so B ⇒ Q
since the figures are reportedly similar, you can continue in the same order to finish.
ABCD ~ RQPS3. The marked triangles cannot be similar. There are a number of ways to figure this. Basically, you want the ratios of sides to be the same for any similar triangles.
Here, you can eliminate the marked ones because the short side is too short relative to the others. (The average of the other two sides is double the short side in the similar triangles.)
Answer: 2 tons.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 pound = 0.0005 tons.
4,000*0.0005=2
Jasmine's rhino weighs 2 tons
Let small cups = S
Large cups = L
They bought a total of 8 cups, so S + L = 8
Rewrite as S = 8-L (1st equation)
Then you also have
$3S + $5L = $30 (2nd equation)
Replace the S in the second equation with the first equation:
$3(8-L) + $5L = $30
Simplify:
24 - 3L + 5L = 30
Combine like terms:
24+2L = 30
Subtract 24 from both sides:
2L = 6
Divide both sides by 2:
L = 3
They bought 3 large cups
Since they bought a total of 8 cups, that means they bought 5 small cups ( 8-3=5)
Large = 3 cups, Small = 5 cups
