i think its D. C. or E. I'm not that great in math im kind of struggling thru it
Answer:
-197.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is arithmetic series, first find the difference d between the two know series.
3.8 - 6 = - 2.2
d = -2.2
a = 6
Tn = -29.2
Looking for the n term, use the linear method.
Tn = a+( n - 1)d
Substitute all the parameters
-29.2 = 6+( n - 1 ) -2.2
-29.2 = 6 - 2.2n + 2.2
- 29.2 = 8.2 - 2.2n
-29.2 - 8.2 = - 2.2n
-37.4 = -2.2n
n = 37.4/ 2.2
n = 17 terms.
To Find the exact sum of the arithmetic series, use the sum formula below
Sm = n/2( 2a + (n - 1)d)
Sm = 17/2( 2 × 6 + ( 17 - 1 ) -2.2
Sm = 17/2(12 - 35.2)
Sm = 8.5( - 23.2)
Sm = - 197.2
Therefore, the exact sum of the arithmetic series is -197.2

Answer: 5/48</h3>
============================================
Work Shown:
We'll divide the total 5/8 evenly among the 6 cousins.
(5/8) ÷ 6 = (5/8) ÷ (6/1)
(5/8) ÷ 6 = (5/8) * (1/6)
(5/8) ÷ 6 = (5*1)/(8*6)
(5/8) ÷ 6 = 5/48
Each cousin gets 5/48 of the aunt's assets.
So for instance, if the aunt had $48,000 in assets, then each cousin gets (5/48)*(48,000) = 5000 dollars.
------------------
An alternative approach:
Draw 6 rectangles side by side that represent the 6 cousins. Then divide each rectangle into 8 pieces, with 5 pieces shaded. The yellow pieces represent the amount given to the cousins. For any given rectangle, 5/8 of it is shaded yellow. Refer to the diagram below.
Overall we have 6*8 = 48 pieces.
The first cousin gets 5 yellow pieces out of 48 total. The same applies to the other five cousins. So this is a visual way to arrive at the answer 5/48.
