In Megan's bag, 20 out of the 50 candy pieces were taffy. In Nora's bag, 11 out of the 25 pieces were taffy. Who got the greater ratio of taffy to total candy pieces? A.
Megan got the greater ratio
B.
Nora got the greater ration.
C.
neither. the girls got the same ration

A. Megan got the greater ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

the numbers are bigger than Nora's numbers

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

13

step-by-step explanation:

169-1=168

168-3=165

165-5=160

160-7=153

153-9=144

144-11=133

133-13=120

120-15=105

105-17=88

88-19=69

69-21=48

48-23=25

25-25=0

since it took 13times to completely subtract it hence its square root is 13
