Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<em>See attachment for number line</em>
From the attachment, we have the following details:
The first shade of blue covered 10 blocks
The second shade of blue covered 5 further blocks which totaled to 15
So, the fraction of the blue blocks is:

Divide fraction by 5/5


Also from the attachment:
The shaded block stopped at the fraction:

So, the expression that represents this scenario is:


<em>Option (c) answers the question</em>
<span>The surface area of a sphere is equal to [4 x Pi x R^2]. In other words, four multiplied by 3.14 multiplied by the radius squared. If the radius of a sphere is 15 yards, the approximate surface area is [4 x 3.14 x (15x15)] = [12.5 x 225] = [2,812 yd^2]. The surface area of a sphere with radius 15 yd is approximately 2,800 yards.</span>
Factor out the common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms;
3x^2(b - 3x) - (b - 3x)
Factor out the common term b - 3x
<u>= (b - 3x)(3x^2 - 1)</u>
