Answer:
<u>The correct answer is 58 1/2 feet. See below to understand the difference of both methods.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information provided to us for solving the question using both methods:
Area of each student = 4 1/2 square feet
Number of students = 13
2. Let's use the first method to solve the question:
4 1/2 = 9/2 (Improper fraction because the numerator, 9 is bigger than the denominator, 2)
9/2 * 13 = 117/2
<u>117/2 = 58 1/2 square feet</u>
3. Let's use the second method to solve the question:
4 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 (Using addition to rewrite the fraction)
(4 + 1/2) * 13 = (4 * 13) + (1/2 * 13) (Distributive property of the multiplication)
(4 * 13) + (1/2 * 13) = 52 + 13/2 = 52 + 6 1/2
<u>52 + 6 1/2 = 58 1/2 square feet</u>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometric sequence
Each term in a geometric sequence can be computed as the previous term by a constant number called the common ratio. The formula to get the term n is
where is the first term of the sequence
The problem describes Georgie took 275 mg of the medicine for her cold in the first hour and that in each subsequent hour, the amount of medicine in her body is 91% (0.91) of the amount from the previous hour. It can be written as
amount in hour n = amount in hour n-1 * 0.91
a)
This information provides the necessary data to write the general term as
b)
In the 8th hour (n=8), the remaining medicine present is Georgie's body is
It could be 7 groups of 1 3 groups of 2 with one left over or 2 groups of 3 with 1 left over
M / n x p = 10/-5 x -2 = -2 x -2 = 4
