Answer:
1,600 dentists were surveyed in total.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up a proportion for this problem:

Now we can cross multiply:

1,600 dentists were surveyed in total.
This is a geometric progression pattern with the common ratio of negative 0.5.
The next three would be -0.5, followed by 0.25, followed by -0.125
So basically 42=x times 64 or 42=64x where you want x to be represented as a fraction so just don't simplify as much
42=64x
divide both sdies by 64
42/64=64/64x
42/64=1x
x=42/64
simplify
42/64=21/32
the answer is 21/32 in simplest form
3.4, 3 + 0.4, three point four
5.8, 5 + 0.8, five point eight
6.2, 6 + 0.2, six point two

I really don't know so sorry
