Answer:

B. -1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the terms given in the sequence:

4, -2, 1, -1/2, 1/4

we can find the pattern by dividing since it is a geometric seqence:

-2/4 = -1/2

1/-2 = -1/2

-1/2 ÷ 1 = -1/2

So, each term is multiplied by -1/2 to get the next term in the sequence:

$\frac{1}{4}*-\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{1}{8}$

Mike can stitch 7 shirts in 42 hours. he can stitch 1 shirt in how many hours, and in 1 hour he can stitch how much of a shirt.

podryga [215]

Answer:

Mike can stitch one shirt in 6 hours and in 1 hour he can stitch $\frac{1}{6}$ (0.167) shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mike can stitch 7 shirts in 42 hours

to calculate the time that he takes to make 1 shirt, we have to divide 42 by 7.

He can stitch 1 shirt in = $\frac{42}{7}$ = 6 hours

Now we calculate the work done in one hour.

He can stitch in 1 hour = $\frac{1}{6}$ shirts or 0.167 shirts

Mike can stitch one shirt in 6 hours and in 1 hour he can stitch $\frac{1}{6}$ shirts.
