Hey there!
A common ratio is just that number that you multiply or divide to each number that gets you the next in a geometric sequence. In this sequence, we know the numbers are getting bigger and we're multiplying, so we want to know what you're multiplying by the first number to get to the second. We can call this unknown number x. SO if we start with the first number and set up an equation, we get:
3x = 12
Divide both sides by 3
x = 4
Therefore, your common ratio is 4.
To check, you can multiply all the next numbers by 4 to see that it all checks out.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
2 cups of clay
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
we are given that 6 cups of water for every 12 cups of clay
i.e
12 cups of clay require 6 cups of water
4 cups of clay will require x cups of water
cross multiply
12x= 4*6
12x= 24
divide both sides by 12
x= 24/12
x= 2cups
Hence 4 cups of water will require 2 cups of clay
The mixed number is 1 and 7/8 because 15 minus 8 equals 7/8 and since you went over the whole (8/8) it is 1 plus 7/8 which equals 1 and 7/8.
It's okay that you might not be good in math that's why we will help.
Lol i sound like a whole teacher
You will have to add your whole then multiply your fraction
