They will need 2 5/12 more pounds to reach their goal.

<h3>Sum and difference of fractions</h3>

Given the following information as shown:

  • Amount Blake collected = 6 1/3 pounds
  • Amount his brother collected = 5 3/4 pounds

If their goal is to collect 14 1/2 pounds of food by the end of the month, the remaining food they need to collect will be expressed as:

y =14 1/2 - (6 1/3 + 5 3/4)

y = 14 1/2 - (19/3  + 23/4)

y = 29/2 - (76+69/12)

y = 29/2 - (145/12)

y = 174-145/12

y = 29/12

y = 2 5/12

Hence they will need 2 5/12 more pounds to reach their goal.

Find the 14th term of the geometric sequence 5 -10 20
Anna [14]

Answer:

  a14 = -40,960

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence has a first term of 5 and a common ratio of -10/5 = -2, so the n-th term is given by ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1)

  an = 5·(-2)^(n-1)

The 14th term is then ...

  a14 = 5·(-2)^(14-1) = -5·2^13 = -5·8192

  a14 = -40,960

here there are t years  so toat months are 12t and ad interest is after each 4 months so time is 12t/4 =3t

now total balance = 3545(1.045)^3t

here 3545 is principal amount , rate is( 1.045-1)×100 =4.5% per 4 months and 3t is time so clearly 3t or 3 is a growth factor hence option A
