Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = -128/27

a2 = 32/9

a3 = -8/3

Therefore, a = a1 = -128/27

r = a3 ÷ a2 = -8/3 ÷ 32/9 = -3/4

So $a_n=ar^{n-1}=-\frac{128}{27} (-\frac{3}{4})^{n-1}$

Therefore, a4 = (-128/27) x (-3/4)^(4-1)

= (-128/27) x (-3/4)^3

= (-128/27) x (-27/64)

= 2

Hunter-Best [27]

Unless this is a trick question, I think 7 baskets. If you have 7 baskets then you can put 5 peaches in each basket. Hope this is right.

A school goes through 10 gallons of milk in 3 days.

Akimi4 [234]

G = gallons d = days
10g = 3d
?g = 1d
1g = ?d
-------------
for gallons in a day, divide 10g = 3d by 3
d = 10/3 gallons
3 and 1/3 gallons in a day
---------------
for days per gallon, divide 10g = 3d by 10
g = 3/10 days
1 gallon lasts 3/10 of a day

A concert hall has three sections: the main floor, the balcony, and the gallery. For a recent concert, 1020 tickets were sold. T

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Let the number of balcony seats be b

Let the number of gallery tickets be g

Let the number of main floor tickets be m

b + g + m = 1020

b = 2g

m = b + 225

The number of balcony tickets = 318

The number of gallery tickets = 159

The number of main floor tickets = 543

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of balcony seats be b

Let the number of gallery tickets be g

Let the number of main floor tickets be m

i) Therefore we can write b + g + m = 1020

ii) there were twice as many balcony tickets sold as gallery tickets

therefore b = 2g $\Rightarrow$ g = 0.5b

iii) there were 225 more main floor tickets than balcony tickets

therefore m = b + 225

iv) using equation ii) and equation iii) in equation i) we can write

b + g + m = b + 0.5b + b + 225 = 1020 $\Rightarrow$ 2.5b = 795 $\Rightarrow$ b = 318

v) g = 0.5 b = 0.5 $\times$ 318 = 159

vi) m = b + 225 = 318 + 225 = 543
