Suppose that an individual has a body fat percentage of 17.2% and weighs 144 pounds. How many pounds of her weight is made up of fat?

24.768

Step-by-step explanation:

we can start by finding how many pounds one percent is by solving 144/100

this gets you 1.44 - which means one percent of her total body weight is 1.44 pounds

then, we multiply the number of percent [17.2] by the value of 1% [1.44]

17.2 x 1.77 = 24.768 lbs

step-by-step explanation:   divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal

it would still be 193

if divide by 100 then 1.93

i am not sure

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt
