Leftover per friend times number of friends=total left over
2/5 times number of friends=2
times both sides by 5/2
number of friends=10/2
number of friends=5

5 friends

Answer:

Hence, the numbers of friends who went to the game is:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Several friends each had 2/5 of a bag of peanuts left over from the baseball game.

Let N be the total number of friends who went to the game.

So, the number of bags of peanuts they have is equal to:

(2/5)×N.

The smallest positive integer N for which (2/5)×N is also an integer is N=5.

That means they had 2 bags.

Hence, the number of friends who went to the game is : 5.

A surveyor, Toby, measures the distance between two landmarks and the point where he stands. He also measured the angles between
Tju [1.3M]

The Set Up:

x² = (Side1)² + (Side2)² - 2[(Side1)(Side2)]

Solution:

cos(Toby's Angle) • x² = 55² + 65² - 2[(55)(65)] cos(110°)

x² = 3025 + 4225 -7150[cos(110°)]

x² = 7250 - 2445.44x =

√4804.56x = 69.31m

The distance, x, between two landmarks is 69.31m.

Note: The answer choices given are incorrect.

Ramesh examined the pattern in the table. Powers of 7 Value 2,401 343 49 7 1 Ramesh says that based on the pattern . Which state
earnstyle [38]

1) You included neihter what Ramesh says nor the statements, then I can you tell some facts about the pattern.


2) The sequence is: 2401, 343, 49, 7, and 1.


3) The first term is 2401


4) The sequence is a decreasing geometric one.


5) The ratio is found dividing two consecutive terms (the second by the first, or the third by the second, or the fourth by the third, or the fifth by fourth):


1/7 = 7 / 49 = 49 / 343 = 343 / 2401.


So, the ratio is 1/7


6) The sum of that sequence is 2401 + 343 + 49 + 7 + 1 = 2801

What is the recursive rule for an=4n−1? a1=4;an=an−1−1 a1=3;an=an−1+4 a1=−1;an=an−1+4 a1=3;an=an−1−1
navik [9.2K]
Plug in n = 1 into the nth term formula
a(n) = 4n-1
a(1) = 4*1-1
a(1) = 3
So the first term is 3

The second term will be 7 because we add on 4 each time, as indicated by the slope of 4. This is also known as the common difference.

So the nth term is found by adding 4 to the (n-1)st term, in other words,
a(n) = a(n-1)+4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In summary, the answer is 
a1=3; an=an-1+4
which is choice B
