Alarge grandfather clock strikes its bell once at 1: 00, twice at 2: 00, three times at 3: 00, etcetera. what is the total number of times the bell will be struck in a day? use an arithmetic series to solve the problem and show how you arrived at your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, to solve this problem we just have to sum:

But, using an arithmetic series, we have to use this formula:

Where, is the total number of elements (in this case is 24), is the first element (1) and is the last element (24), because a day has 24 hours.

So, replacing all variables, we have:

Therefore, the bell will be struck 300 times per day.

7

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be 7

false

step-by-step explanation:

the reason i say this is because for a certain length of sides you can pick any two and the length is wither equal or greater than the third side and in this case it's not.

3 + 5 = 8

8 is smaller than 9 which is the third side.

hope this : )
