PLEASE ANSWER ASAP Michael read 14 books in 26 months. At the same rate, about how many books can he read in 48 months?

Well, lets break this down.

If you try to add 26 + 26 it would be 52, which is above 48.

So, we have to find how many books he can read in one month.

All we have to do, is divide!

14 = dividend

26 = divisor

Step 1:

Start by setting it up with the divisor 26 on the left side and the dividend 14 on the right side like this:

26⟌14 Then do the rest, ill wait.

once you have a answer, that is how much he reads a month.

now multiply by 48.

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for

answer: 94

step-by-step explanation: 79+91+92+94+94 = 450 divided by 5 (since there are 5 number that are being added) = 90
