Acat weighs 3.5 ounces when born. the cat grows 0.5 ounces each week. after
how many weeks does the cat way 16.5 ounces?

26 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of an arithmetic sequence.

The first term = 3.5

common difference = 0.5

Using the formula for calculating the nth term of an arithmetic sequence :

= a + (n - 1 ) d

Therefore :

16.5 = 3.5 + ( n - 1 ) x 0.5

16. 5 = 3.5 + 0.5n - 0.5

16.5 = 3 + 0.5n

16.5 - 3 = 0.5n

13.5 = 0.5n

n = 13.5/0.5

n = 27

Therefore , it will take the cat (n-1)  weeks to weigh 16.5 ounce, which will be 27 - 1 = 26

check:

3.5 + 26 ( 0.5)

= 3.5 + 13

= 16.5

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !

what's the question?

there is no question.
