The answer would be .40 or 40%.

2 x 5 = 10

2 x 2 = 4.

4/10

4/10 = 40% or .40

To the convert 2/5 to a decimal it will be 0.40 because during when you do 5 do x20 so 1/5 = 0.20 and so on
for the percent it may be 40% but idk

Find the area of the shaded region. Round to the nearest tenth.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

3.5 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$Area \: of \: both \: squares \\ = {2}^{2} + {3}^{2} \\ = 4 + 9 \\ = 13 \: {cm}^{2} \\ \\ Area \: of \: both \: right \: \triangle s \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times (2 + 3) \times 2 + \frac{1}{2} \times3 \times 3 \\ = 5 \times 1+ 1.5 \times 3 \\ = 5 + 4.5 \\ = 9.5 \: {cm}^{2} \\ \\ Area \: of \:shaded \: region \\ = Area \: of \: both \: squares\\ - Area \: of \: both \: right \: \triangle s \\ = 13 - 9.5 \\ \purple { \boxed{ \bold{Area \: of \:shaded \: region = 3.5 \: {cm}^{2} }}}$

Which formula can be used to find the nth term of a geometric sequence where the fifth term is 1/6 and the common ratio is 1/4?

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

$a_n = 16(\frac{1}{4})^{n - 1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fifth term of a geometric sequence = $\frac{1}{16}$

Common ratio (r) = ¼

Required:

Formula for the nth term of the geometric sequence

Solution:

Step 1: find the first term of the sequence

Formula for nth term of a geometric sequence = $ar^{n - 1}$ , where:

a = first term

r = common ratio = ¼

Thus, we are given the 5th term to be ¹/16, so n here = 5.

Input all these values into the formula to find a, the first term.

$\frac{1}{16} = a*\frac{1}{4}^{5 - 1}$

$\frac{1}{16} = a*\frac{1}{4}^{4}$

$\frac{1}{16} = a*\frac{1}{256}$

$\frac{1}{16} = \frac{a}{256}$

Cross multiply

$1*256 = a*16$

Divide both sides by 16

$\frac{256}{16} = \frac{16a}{16}$

$16 = a$

$a = 16$

Step 2: input the value of a and r to find the nth term formula of the sequence

nth term = $ar^{n - 1}$

nth term = $16*\frac{1}{4}^{n - 1}$

$a_n = 16(\frac{1}{4})^{n - 1}$

What is 87.92 rounded to the nearest tenth

alex41 [277]

Answer:

87.92 rounded to the nearest tenth would be 87.9 because you wouldn't round up unless the number after the 9 was 5 or higher.
