Boxes that are 16 inches tall are being stacked next to boxes that are 20 in inches tall.

a. what is the shortest height at which the two stacks will be the same? explain your reasoning.

b. how many boxes will be in each stack?

A. 80"     B. 5 boxes in the 16" box stack, 4 boxes in the 20" stack.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Find the lowest common product that the two numbers share.

16, 32, 48, 64, 80

20, 40, 60, 80,

B. 80 is the 5th term of 16 and the 4th term of 20

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
