The calculation is not reasonable, because 0.45 is less tha 1/2 ( 0.50) and what he has for an answer is half the distance ( 250.17 is 1/2 of 500.34).
To find actual mileage, multiply by 0.45:
500.34 x 0.45 = 225.153 miles.
Round the answer as needed.
I don't think those two expressions would even be equal unless w = 0. You can't just add in a 2 from nowhere.
3(.80)+1.20= 3.60
3.60+1.40= 5
Annette gave the clerk $5
A(n) = a₁.(r)ⁿ⁻¹, where a₁ = 1st term, r= common ratio and n, the rank
In the formula given a₁ = 5, r = 3/2 and n = 6 (we have to find the 6th term value).
a₆ = 5.(3/2)⁶⁻¹ = 5.(3/2)⁵ = 1215/32 (answer C)
