the question does not present the options, but this
does not interfere with the resolution
Let
a1=-4
a2=-24
a3=-144
a4=-864
a5=?
we know that
a2/a1=-24/-4----> 6-------> a2=6*a1
a3/a2=-144/-24---> 6-----> a3=6*a2
a4/a3=-864/-144---> 6----> a4=6*a3
therefore
a5=6*a4-----> a5=6*(-864)------> a5=-5184
hence
the formula is
an=6*a(n-1)

Tom is incorrect
He keeps getting the same number of 1:6 on each roll.
Answer: 6 pieces
=======================================================
Explanation:
3/4 = 6/8 after multiplying both parts by 2
We have a ribbon that is 6/8 of an inch long. We want to cut it into 1/8 inch pieces. We can see there will be exactly 6 pieces
Note how 6*(1/8) = 6/8
Or we can think of it as "we have a ribbon that is 6 units long and we want to cut it into pieces that are 1 unit each, so we'll have 6 pieces total". Replace "unit" with "1/8 inch" and you'll have the same idea.
2^10 is equal to 1024 (one thousand and twenty four)
