Bryan reads for x minutes. kelly reads for one-fourth the amount of time bryan reads. which statement explains why 1/4 x and 0.25x can each find the number of minutes kelly reads?

question 1 options:

a: the fraction 1/4 is equivalent to the decimal 0.75. therefore, 1/4 x can be rewritten as 0.75x.

b: the expressions are not equivalent.

c: multiplying by 4 is the same as multiplying by 25%.

d: multiplying 1/4 is the same as multiplying by 25%.

The answer is d, as 1/4's percentage equivalent is 25%. if you have x amount of minutes that Bryan reads, if you multiply that by either 1/4 or 25% you find how much Kelly has read.

If you need an equation, it would be y=2x+8, y would be how long it grew, x being weeks.if you need how long he was asleep, it would be 4 weeks if he started with no beard, the equation would be x=8÷2if he did have a beard before hand, the equation would be 2w+x=8

step-by-step explanation:

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

1 the 1st term, 3 the 2nd term, 6 the 3rd term,etc.

note the following:

from the 1st term (1) to the 2nd term (3), we go up by 2,from the 2nd term (3) to the 3rd term (6), we go up by 3from the 3rd term (6) to the 4th term (10), we go up by 4, andfrom the 4th term (10) to the 5th term (15), we go up by 5.

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
