If there are 16 cups in one gallon, each gallon u add 16. If you have 3 gallons you add 16 3 times. So to get your answer you multiply 16 by three which is 48 cups.
Answer:
x is EQUIVALENT to 2.89
Step-by-step explanation:
F(n) = 1st term - common difference (n - 1)
The operation is subtraction because the sequence is decreasing.
n = number of the term you are looking for
1st term = 1st number in the sequence, in this case, 16
common difference = difference between one number to the next
f(n) = 16 - 1(n-1)
Assuming we are looking for the 5th term.
f(5) = 16 - 1(5-1)
= 16 - 1(4)
= 16 - 4
= 12 * as you can see, 12 is the 5th term of the sequence.
If you are looking for the equivalent of the nth term, simply substitute n by the number you are looking for and solve the equation.
