A pastry chef has a container with 14 pound of sprinkles. The chef needs to spread the sprinkles equally among 5 cakes. What fraction of the sprinkles will the chef use on each cake? Which two equations can you use to solve the problem?

2.8 pounds of sprinkles on each cake

Step-by-step explanation:

if you have 5 cakes you will divide the 14 pounds of sprinkles up on to each cake evenly.

14 pounds/5 cakes = 2.8 pounds per cake

a 10 percent increase

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.
