Jasper decorates flower pots to sell in his shop. HE knows that it takes 12 minutes to decorate a flower pot.

Jasper works from 9:30am until 12:50pm on Tuesday.
HE takes 20 minutes for a coffee break at 10:30am

How many flower pots does Jasper decorate on Tuesday?

15 flower pots

Step-by-step explanation:

9:30 until 12.50=3 hours and 20 minutes or 200 minutes

200 minutes - 20 minute break=180 minutes working

180/12=15 pots

He works from 9:30am to 12:50pm.

He takes a brake at 10:30 for 20 mins.

Now the time he works will be

(12:50 - 9:30) - 20

3:20 - 20

3:00

NOTE: TILL HERE DONT THINK THE SIGN ':' IS USED FOR RATIO, ITS USED AS IN TIME. AND THIS MEANS THE NUMBER BEFORE ':' IS HOURS AND THE NUMBER AFTER THE ':' WILL BE MINUTES.

i.e., 3 hours.No. of pots decorated in 3 hours will be,

3 hours in minutes÷time taken to decorate one pot.

⇒ (3×60)÷12

⇒ 180÷12

⇒15

Thus he decorates 15 pots in the given time.

the correct answer is 1: 2

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
