One of the local homeless shelters received a donation of 852 blankets to help support the homeless population during the harsh winter months. They plan on distributing them to all 7 of the local shelters. How many blankets will each shelter get? Will there be any leftover? If so, how many?

Each shelter would get 121 blankets

And there would be 5 blankets left over

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the local homeless shelters received a donation of 852 blankets to help support the homeless population during the harsh winter months. They plan on distributing them to all 7 of the local shelters. How many blankets will each shelter get? Will there be any leftover? If so, how many?

From the above question

7 local shelters = 852 blankets

1 local shelters = x blankets

Cross Multiply.

7x = 852 blankets

x = 852 blankets/7

x = 121 5/7 blankets

Therefore, Each shelter would get 121 blankets

And there would be 5 blankets left over

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
