Well every time it gets rid of a shell it grows 1 1/3 times larger. So so to see how much it grows after the first time you say
1 cm * 1 1/3 = 1 1/3 cm
to get the next one you do the same
1 1/3 cm * 1 1/3 cm = 16/9
It will keep going multiplying by 1 1/3. So so we can say in an equation that the
(initial size) * 1 1/3 *(number of shells) = length
Or 1cm * 1 1/3 * n = L
We we know the final length is 10cm
So 1 1/3 * n = 10cm
n = 7.5shells
so approximately 7 or 8 shells
Do you have any answer choices?
I dont see anything maybe you forgot to add the answer'
Answer: See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a table with first set of numbers as 1,3. Multiply both the numbers of this set sequentially by natural numbers to get the following table
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10......
3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30......
We see that in each set of numbers the 2nd number is 3 times the first number.
If we plot these sets of numbers on a graph paper, we get a model depicting all the points which satisfy this ration requirement.
