This is a geometric sequence with a=2, r= -3/2.
Therefore,
a₁ = 2
a₂ = 2*(-3/2) = -3
a₃ = 2*(-3/2)² = 9/2 = 4.5
a₄ = 2(-3/2)³ = -27/4 = -6.75
a₅ = 2(-3/2)⁴ = 81/8 = 10.125
Answer:
In fractions, the first five terms are
2, -3, 9/2, -27/4, 81/8
In decimals, the first five terms are
2.000, -3.000, 4.500, -6.750, 10.125
Sandi did not follow PEMDAS. She added before multiplying and dividing. Her answer should be 18 because 6 • 4 = 24, 2 / 2 = 1, 24 + 1 = 25, 25 - 7 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2.625 cups or 21 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Ava needs 3/4 cup of blue paint for every 1 cup of white paint. So, the ratio is 0.75 : 1.
She has 28 ounces of white paint. But, you have to convert ounces to cups.
1 cup = 8 ounces
28 ounces ÷ 8 ounces/cup = 3.5 cups
Now set up a ratio.

X (how much blue paint is needed) is over 3.5 cups (the amount of white paint she has)
Cross multiply and divide.

x = 0.75 × 3.5
x = 2.625 cups
To convert to ounces, multiply by 8.
2.625 cups × 8 ounces = 21 ounces
Therefore, Ava needs 2.625 cups or 21 ounces of blue paint.
Hope that helps.
