Answer: The common ratio is 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term is half as much as the last one.  This means that to find the next term, you are multiplying the last term by 1/2.  The common ratio of a geometric sequence is the number that you multiply by to get the next term in the sequence, so it is 1/2 in this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parameter is a property that describes the whole population, while a statistic is a property pertaining to a sample or sub-set of the population.

A kite has a perimeter of 70 centimeters. One of the shorter sides measures 16 centimeters. What are the lengths of the other th
kari74 [83]

Answer:

a kite has 2 short sides and 2 long sides. The 2 short sides are equal. The 2 long sides are also equal. This means that the other short side is 16cm. And the remaining longer sides can be found like this:

let's pretend *y* is the long side

2*y = 70 - 16 - 16. (two of the long sides = 70 - short side - another short side)

so use algebra to find y.

2*y = 38

y = 19 so the long sides are both 19cm each

Your final answer: 16cm, 19cm, 19cm

2.5 kg of cabbages cost £1.20<br><br> Work out the cost of 3.75 kg
s2008m [1.1K]
Thank you for your question!

In order to get the cost of 1 kg of cabbage, divide the cost by the quantity:

1.20/2.5
0.48

Now, multiply the amount for 1 kg to 3.75, because you need 3.75 times the amount.

0.48 * 3.75
1.80

So, it would cost 1.80 pounds for 3.75 kg.
Hope this helped!
