Lois shot 54 baskets in 3 minutes. what is the rate per minute. how do i do this?

Hi there!

To find your answer, you'll need to use the cross product method :

3 minutes = 54 baskets

1 minute = X baskets

(54 × 1) ÷ 3 = X baskets

54 ÷ 3 = X baskets

18 = X

So your answer is: he shots 18 baskets per minute.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

(a) common ratio in the given sequence is, 3

(b) push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week

step-by-step explanation:

geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that follows a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio(r)

(a)

given the sequence: 6 , 18 , 54 , 162 ,

this sequence is geometric sequence where each term is 3 times the previous term.

therefore,

common ratio(r) = 3.

(b)

a formula for nth term of geometric sequence is given by;

,   where r is the common ratio between the successive terms and is the first term,

to find how many push ups will kendall do on the 20th week.

here. n = 20th term.

in the given sequence first term

then;

simplify:

therefore, push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week
