If Sam has 3/4 pints of cleaner left and is able to clean 2/3 of her boat, how many pints are needed to clean an entire boat? Answer choices-

6/12pint

8/9pint

1 and 1/8 pints

2 pints

1 and 1/8 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 pints of cleaner = 2/3 boat

3/4 c = 2/3 b

solve for b (boat)

9/4 c = 2 b

9/8 c = b

1 1/8 c = b

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
