There are 2/8 in 1/4 and 5/10 in 1/2
32 × 2 = 68
32 × 3 = 96
32 × 4 = 128
So far we can conclude that the answer to your question lies somewhere between the numbers 3 and 4. To narrow down the answer some more, multiply 32 by 3.5 (a midway point between 3 and 4).
32 × 3.5 = 112
The number 112 tells us that the decimal we are looking for is higher than 3.5. (Because we need to get to 125, not 112.) Let's try some decimals between 3.5 and 4.
32 × 3.7 = 118.4
32 × 3.8 = 121.6
32 × 3.9 = 124.8
32 × 4 = 128
As we narrow down our answer, we can see that the number we are looking for lies between 3.9 and 4 on the number line. Now we need to start testing some decimals between 3.9 and 4.
32 × 3.905 = 124.96
Again, use the number five as a "midway" point to decide if you should use numbers that are higher or lower than 3.905. In this case, we need to use numbers higher than 3.905.
32 × 3.906 = 124.992
32 × 3.907 = 125.024
We are getting even closer to our number now that we know the decimal is somewhere between 3.906 and 3.907.
32 × 3.9065 = 125.008
With our midway point we can see that our number lies between 3.906 and 3.9065. Let's try a quarter point to see where our number lies from there.
32 × 3.90625 = 125
And BINGO! We have found the answer to the question. To be rephrased, our answer can be put like this:

= 3.90625
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
\[a_{n}=a{1}r^{n-1}\]
r=16/8=2
a_{12}=8(2)^{12-1}
The correct answer is A. 1.5 cups
Explanation:
The total of polishing wooden furniture is equivalent to the total of olive oil plus the total of lemon juice. Additionally, in this case, the result should be given in cups. First, let's consider the values given.
50% of a cup of lemon juice + 25% of a quart with olive oil
The first quantity 50% of a cup of lemon indicates half cup of lemon was added, which is equivalent to 0.5 cups as 1 cup = 100% of a cup and 50% is the half.
Now, the second quantity is provided in quarts, which is not the same as a cup. Indeed 1 quart is equivalent to 4 cups, which represents 100%. This means 100% = 4 cups. Now, to calculate the 25% follow this procedure.
1. Write the values
4 = 100 (total percentage)
x = 25 (percentage to be calculated
2. Solve this by using cross multiplication
x100 = 4 × 25
x100 = 100
x = 100 ÷ 100
x = 1 (cups in 25%)
This means 1 cup of olive oil was added and this plus 0.5 cup of lemon juice is equivalent to 1.5 cups of solution.
