Answer:

To determine the common ratio of a geometric sequence. You just need to divide any two consecutive terms on it. You can see below that all of them have the same quotient.

1.2 / 1.5 = 0.8

0.96 / 1.2 = 0.8

0.768 / 0.96 = 0.8

Decimal form = 0.8

Fraction form = 4/5

Check:

1.5 x 0.8 = 1.2

1.5 x 4/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5 = 1.2

Therefore, the common ratio between successive terms in the sequence? 1.5, 1.2, 0.96, 0.768 is 0.8 or 4/5.

Answer:

96 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A volume that is 16 ft by 18 ft by 1/3 ft will be ...

V = LWH

V = (16 ft)(18 ft)(1/3 ft) = 96 ft³

96 cubic feet of concrete are needed.

Answer:

The null and alternative hypothesis for this test are

$H_0: \mu\ge 215\\\\H_1: \mu< 215$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we perform a hypothesis test, we can reject or not reject the null hypothesis.

To conclude that the tires have a decreased stopping distance (μ<215), we should state the null hypothesis $H_0: \mu\ge 215$ and then go on with the analysis to reject it (or not).

If the null hypothesis is rejected, the claim of the manufacturer is rigth.

The alternative hypothesis would be $H_1: \mu$ , that would turn rigth if the null hypothesis is rejected.

Which could be the dimensions of a rectangular prism whose surface area is greater than 140 square feet? Select three options,

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

These are the rectangular prisms that have a surface area greater than 140 square feet

6 feet by 5 feet by 4 feet

7 feet by 6 feet by 4 feet

8 feet by 3 feet by 7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the surface area of a rectangular prism is SA=2(wl+hl+hw)

All you have to do is go through all the options given to you to figure out which retangular prisms have a surface area greater than 140 square feet.

6 feet by 2 feet by 3 feet

SA = 2((2)(6)+(3)(6)+(3)(2))

SA = 2(12 + 18 + 6)

SA = 2(36)

SA = 72

6 feet by 5 feet by 4 feet

SA = 2((6)(5) + (4)(5) + (4)(6))

SA = 2(30 + 20 + 24)

SA = 2(74)

SA = 148

7 feet by 6 feet by 4 feet

SA = 2((7)(6) + (4)(6) + (4)(7))

SA = 2(42 + 24 + 28)

SA = 2(94)

SA = 188

8 feet by 3 feet by 7 feet

SA = 2((8)(3)+(7)(3)+(7)(8))

SA = 2(24 + 21 + 56)

SA = 2(101)

SA = 202

8 feet by 4 feet by 3 feet

SA = 2((8)(4)+(3)(4)+(3)(8))

SA = 2(32 + 12 + 24)

SA = 2(68)

SA = 136
