To solve this you have to add 98 and 82 together then divide by three so the answer would be 60
The ratio here is
3/4 cup milk 6 cups milk
-------------------- Now equate this to -----------------
1 beaten egg x
Solving this equation, (3/4)x = 6, and x = 8 (eggs) (answer)
Check: Note that 3/4 / 1 = 6 / 8
To get -4 from 1, we must either subtract 5 from 1 or mult. 1 by -4. Unfortunately subtracting 5 from -4 does not result in 9, and mult -4 by -4 does not result in -16. So neither "works" in predicting the next term.
Can you think of any other experiments to do that would help you discover the pattern 1, -4, 9, -16?
