We can use the distance, rate, and time formulas. 

We know that

r = d/t

Hence, 

d = r * t

We have both the rate, and the time. 

284.5 * 0.8 = 227.6

Therefore, the cities are 227.6 km apart. 

For the sake of your learning, here is a YouTube video from which you can learn to convert km/h --> m/s

With thanks, 

Your equation is wierd. Can you try reformatting it maybe?

Your sequence would look something like this:

1, 3, 5, 7, ...

Notice how you keep adding two. And notice how the number of times you add two is one less than the term number. 

For example, 3 = 1 + 2

(We added 2 only once to calculate the second term) Vice versa for all. 

The equation is therefore:

1 + 2(n - 1)

Substitute 2023 for n. 

1 + 2(2023 - 1)

= 1 + 2(2022)

= 1 + 4044

= 4045

Therefore, 2023rd number is 4045. 

Ohhhh That (1+k) cancels!!

Thank you, Melody!

(Also that person was me... but I forgot I wasnt logged in)

Oh wow

Melody, I really really really really apperciate it!! 

And, you are a great teacher! I know this because I understand the question now :)

😊😊😊😊😊

Darn - my only confusion is, sir - that 9 - (-8) = 17

But 17 is not a multiple of 3. 

17/3 = 5 and 2/3. 

What does that translate to?

What is '2/3'

That is what I'm looking for. 

Thanks!

hm.. this doesnt make sense
