By using the information you have, you can use make a proportion to solve this.
You burn 4 logs in 2 hours or 4/2. You are comparing this to your unknown number, x, over 8 hours. So it looks like this 4/2 = x/8. You read it as four logs in two hours is x logs in eight hours. To solve you cross multiply. You do 2 times x and 4 times eight. That would be 2x= 32. Your goal is getting x alone, so divide each side by 2. Your answer is x= 16 logs in eight hours. You can solve this different and maybe easier ways but this is the best way if you want to get used to going this in algebra. Hope that helps! :)
Answer:
a) The arithmetic sequence with common difference 2 that has 8 as the first term.
b) The arithmetic sequence of common difference -5 and first term 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use for example the arithmetic sequence with common difference 2 that has 8 as the first term. Then the first two terms of this sequence are:
8, and (8+2) = 10 Therefore the second term is 10.
Another arithmetic sequence of common difference -5 and first term 15. The firs two terms of this sequence are:
15, and (15 - 5) = 10. Therefore again a 10 as second term.
It should be 6, radius is half of the circumference (6/3=2).
To solve this equation, start by noticing that you want to find t when P is 75%, or 0.75. Plug in 0.75 for P. Please see the attached screenshot for a step-by-step. The correct answer is 29.496 days.
EDIT 2: I actually was correct! You check the answer by substituting 29.496 for t in the original equation set equal to 0.75. It is 0.75. I had forgotten the negative sign when I checked.
The answer is 16 ft! Hope my work helped.
