Billy had 5 gallons of paint. Bob had 4 kilograms of paint. How do you make the paint amount equal?

We can make the paint amount equal by making sure the parameters have the same unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Billy had 5 gallons of paint. Bob had 4 kilograms of paint. How do you make the paint amount equal?

To solve the above question, we have the conversion rate:

We can make the paint amount equal by making sure the parameters have the same unit

Hence:

1 gallon (gal) = 3.785411784 kilogram (kg).

Billy had 5 gallons of paint.

1 gallon (gal) = 3.785411784 kilogram (kg).

5 gallons of paint = x

Cross Multiply

x = 5 × 3.785411784 kg

18.92705892 kilograms of paint

Approximately 18.93 Kilograms of paint

Therefore, Billy had 18.93 kg of paint and Bob had 4 kg of paint

, and

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
