You have the correct answer. It is choice B) -1/4

=======================================================

Explanation:

This is because we're adding -1/4 to each term to get the next one. In other words, we're subtracting 1/4 from each term to get the next one.

  • term2 = term1+(d) = 1/2 + (-1/4) = 1/2 - 1/4 = 2/4 - 1/4 = 1/4
  • term3 = term2+(d) = 1/4 + (-1/4) = 1/4 - 1/4 = 0
  • term4 = term3+(d) = 0 + (-1/4) = 0 - 1/4 = -1/4
  • term5 = term4+(d) = -1/4 + (-1/4) = -2/4 = -1/2

and so on.

----------

To find the common difference, all we have to do is subtract any term from its previous one.

For example:

d = (term2) - (term1)

d = (1/4) - (1/2)

d = (1/4) - (2/4)

d = (1-2)/4

d = -1/4

The order of subtraction matters, so we cannot say d = term1-term2.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Time it would take Sarah to complete the work in one hour = work completed in 1/4 hours x 4

We are multiplying by 4 because there are 4, 1/4 in an hour

1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1 hour

\frac{1}{6} × 4 = \frac{4}{6}

To transform to the simplest form. divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2

= \frac{2}{3}
