PARA HORNEAR UN PASTEL DE UN KILO SE NECESITA ENTRE OTROS INGREDIENTES UN TERCIO DE HARINA Y 3 CUCHARADAS DE VAINILLA CUANTA VAINILLA ES NECESARIA 3 KILOS Y MEDIO

10 + 1/2 spoons of vanilla.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question says:

For 1kg of cake, we need 1/3 kg of flour and 3 spoons of vanilla.

How much vanilla do we need if we want to make a cake of 3 + 1/2 kg?

Ok, if for 1kg we need 3 spoons, then for (3 + 1/2)kg we need (3 + 1/2) times 3 spoons, this is:

(3 + 1/2)*3 spoons

=3*3 + 3/2 = 9 + 3/2 = 9 + 2/2 + 1/2 = 10 + 1/2

We need 10 + 1/2 spoons of vanilla.

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
