Answer:

3b: 1/26

4i: 1/4

4ii: 1/13

4iii 1/13

4iv: 1/13

4v: 3/13

Step-by-step explanation:

3b. there are 26 letters in the alphabet, and there is only 1 S, thus the answer is 1/26

4i: There are 13 cards in each suite, so there is a 13/52 = 1/4 chance.

4ii: There are four aces (Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs) so thus the answer is 4/52 = 1/13

4iii: there are four 7's (Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs) so thus the answer is 4/52 = 1/13

4iv: there is a king in each of the suites, therefore the answer is 4/52 = 1/13

4v: there are a total of 12 court cards (4 kings, 4 queens, and 4 jacks) thus the answer is 12/52 = 3/13

What is the equation that represents the sequence in this problem ? Find the price after the 8th month

AVprozaik [17]

ANSWER

$\begin{gathered} a_n=ar^{n\text{ - 1}} \\ a_8\text{ = \$38.26} \end{gathered}$

EXPLANATION

The problem represents a geometric progression.

The general form of a geometric sequence is:

$a_n=ar^{n\text{ - 1}}$

where a = first term

r = common ratio

The first term from the table is the first price (for the first month). That is $80.00

To find the common ratio, we divide a term by its preceeding term.

Let us divide the price of the second month from the first.

We have:

$\begin{gathered} r\text{ = }\frac{72}{80} \\ r\text{ = 0.9} \end{gathered}$

The price after the 8th month is the value of a(n) when n = 8

So, we have that:

$\begin{gathered} a_8\text{ = 80 }\cdot0.9^{(8\text{ - 1)}} \\ a_8\text{ = 80 }\cdot0.9^7 \\ a_8\text{ = \$38.26} \end{gathered}$

Elliot spent $16.15 on ground beef at a grocery store. He purchased 3 and 2 over 5 pounds of ground beef. What is the price per

Andrej [43]

We want to know how much is the price per pound (or unit rate) of ground beef, given that we know the price for Elliot's purchase. We will see that each pound costs $4.75

So we know that (3 + 2/5) lb of ground beef costs $16.15, the cost of a single pound will be given by the quotient between the total cost and the amount purchased, then we need to solve:

$P =\frac{ \$ 16.15}{(3 + 2/5)lb}$
