Answer:

a. 15/16 tons or 0.9375 tons

b. 6 4/5 work days or 6.8 work days

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 3 hours between 9am and noon

rewrite 2 1/2 as 5/2 or 2.5

make a proportion: $\frac{5/2}{8} = \frac{x}{3}$

cross multiply: 5/2 * 3 = 8x →15/2 = 8x

divide 15/2 by 8 = 15/2 * 1/8 = 15/16

b. make another proportion

$\frac{5/2}{8} = \frac{17}{y}$

cross multiply:(5/2) y = 8*17 → (5/2) y = 136

divide 136 by 5/2 = 136 * 2/5 =54 2/5 hours

1 work day = 8 hours

so 54 2/5 hours / 8 hours = 6 4/5 work days or 6.8 work days

Product A is an 8oz. Bottle of cough medicine that sells for $1.36. Product B is a 16oz. Bottle cough medicine that costs $3.20.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Product A= 8oz = 1.36 x 2= 2.72. 16oz = 2.72

product B=16oz= 3.20

so Product A has the lower unit price.

A geometric sequence has an initial value of 3 and a common ratio of 2. Which function(s) or formula(s) could represent this sit

olasank [31]

Answer:

The functions that represent this situation are A. $f(n)=3\cdot 2^{n-1}$ and C. $a(n)=a(n-1)\cdot 2; a(1)=3$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence goes from one term to the next by always multiplying or dividing by the same value.

In geometric sequences, the ratio between consecutive terms is always the same. We call that ratio the common ratio.

This is the explicit formula for the geometric sequence whose first term is k and common ratio is r:

$a(n)=k\cdot r^{n-1}$

This is the recursive formula of that sequence:

$a(1)=k\\\\a(n)=a(n-1)\cdot r$

We know that the first term is k = 3 and the common ratio is r = 2. Therefore,

The explicit formula is $f(n)=3\cdot 2^{n-1}$ and the recursive formula is $a(n)=a(n-1)\cdot 2; a(1)=3$ .

The expression y2 – 10y + 24 has a factor of y – 4. What is another factor of y2 – 10y + 24? y – 20 y – 14 y – 8 y – 6

aniked [119]

Just for future reference always put ^ for exponents. The answer is y-6 though.
(y-4)(y-6) create that trinomial. You can prove that by using the FOIL algorithm

Sienna has a car loan with an annual interest rate of 4.8%. She will make the same monthly payment for 48 months, after which th

Komok [63]

Answer: Sienna’s loan is an example of closed-end credit

Step-by-step explanation: The main difference between closed-end credit and open-end credit is in the terms of the debt and its repayment.

Open-end credit are loans taken which are not restricted to a specific use or duration i.e the banks allows it's customers to take loans without a specific or set duration during which it most be paid back, the customer just have to promise that they will back back on time. Credit card accounts and debit cards are a good example of open-credit.

On the other hand, a close-end credit are loans taken by individuals or business for a particular period as specified, during which the individual or business is required to make regular payments. At the end of the set period the individual or business is required to pay back the entire loan, interest fee and maintenance fee. Mortgage and car loans are a good example of closed-end credit.

So Diego's statement is the correct statement; Sienna’s loan is an example of closed-end credit
