If 1 3 of a mile of state highway litter is removed equally by 4 volunteers, what fraction of a mile will each volunteer clean?

a)
1
8
b)
1
12
c)
1
18
d)
1
24

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 4 volunteers removed the litter from of a mile of state highway equally.

We are to find the fraction of a mile each volunteer cleans.

For that, we simply will divide the length of highway cleaned by the total number of volunteers.

Fraction of mile cleaned by each volunteer =

So the correct answer option is B. .

1/12mi or B

Step-by-step explanation:

so we want to divide 1/3 mile into 4 parts (1 for each volunteer)

1/3 divided by 4 is 1/3 times 1/4 or 1/(3*4)=1/12

answe ris 1/12 or B

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
