Answer:
A total of 15 cups of punch.
Step-by-step explanation:
20% ( or 0.20) of the punch is pineapple juice so if you have 3 cups of this juice, by proportion, you can make 3 / 0.20 = 15 cups
The first differences are 8, 14, 20.
The second differences are 6.
Half of 6 is 3, so the first term of the sequence is 3n^2.
If you subtract 3n^2 from the sequence you get 0,-1,-2,-3 which has the nth term of -n + 1.
Therefore your final answer will be 3n^2 - n + 1
First you have to make it multiplication so you flip 5/2 around and the two “2’s” will cancel each other so it will be 17/5 or 3 2/5
