Since we’ve been given a ratio, 3:8, we can convert that into a fraction and form an equation from it:
=
The reason the numerator on the second fraction is 27/3 is because the team scored 27 points, not 27 baskets.
Simplify (Also replace the ? with an unknown variable):
=
Cross multiply:
3*n = 9*8
Simplify:
3n = 72
Divide both sides by 3:
n = 24
The team had 33 three point tries, 9 successes, and 24 fails.

This question is incomplete, here is the complete question
What is the recursive formula for this geometric sequence 2, -10, 50, -250, .... ?
The recursive formula for this geometric sequence is:
= 2;
= (-5) •
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the recursive formula for a geometric sequence:
The recursive formula is:
= first term;
= r •
, where
∵ The geometric sequence is 2 , -10 , 50 , -250
∴ = 2
- To find r divide the 2nd term by the first term
∵
∴
- Substitute the values of and r in the formula above
∴ = 2;
= (-5) •
The recursive formula for this geometric sequence is:
= 2;
= (-5) •
