Answer: Choice A</h3>
The first line shown in choice A is
which means "the first term is -2"
The next line in choice A means "the nth term (
) is found by multiplying the prior term (
) by 8". Put another way: multiply each term by 8 to get the next term.
first term = -2
second term = 8*(first term) = 8*(-2) = -16
third term = 8*(second term) = 8*(-16) = -128
fourth term = 8*(third term) = 8*(-128) = -1024
and so on.
Find the LCM (least common multiple) of the denominators, and use that as the denominator for the two fractions.
Ex.

LCM (3, 4) is 12

=
The equivalent of 4 meters is 4.374 yards
