Find the amount of change by subtracting the two quantities. Divide this number by the original (starting) quantity, and convert to percent form by moving the decimal 2 places to the right.
49 pieces because 7/8 is equivalent to 49/56. If each piece is 1/56, then there 49 of them.
Answer:
Since U is the midpoint of XY,
1 + 2^1 = 3
3 + 2^2 = 7
7 + 2^3 = 15
15 + 2^4 = 31
31 + 2^5 = 63
63 + 2^6 = 127
so the next two terms in the sequence 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, is 63 and 127.
