To get the pattern the bottom number for all of them would need to be the same:
5/16, 1/2=8/16, 11/16, 7/8=14/16.
Then you will see the pattern is that the fractions are increasing by<u> +3/16</u>.
3/4
The easiest way to solve this is to test the numbers one by one. 2/3 is not the answer because 2/3 times 3/2 is 1, not 9/8. It is 3/4 because 3/2 times 3/4 is 9/8, 9/8 times 3/4 is 27/32, and so forth.
To solve this we have to work backwards.
start with -7 and add 12 to it to undo the first move

now take 5 and multiply by 5 to undo the last move

check our work:
Answer:
B. 5 is the input
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 4x + 3 f(5) = 23 Plug in 5 for x.
f(x) = 4(5) + 3
f(x) = 20 + 3
f(x) = 23
B. 5 is the input
