Answer: 5/1 or just 5
Step-by-step explanation:
You answer is the third option
It is 1/11 or 4/44.
Explained:
This is because when you subtract 26 and 22 you get 4 and when you subtract 4 and -45. The 45 then becomes a positive since when you get a negative and a negative you get a positive. Then you simplify it by 11.
The way we would answer the question would be to express it as
100-9(n-1) with n being the nth term of the pattern.
Why is this? We know we subtract 9 each time and START from 100.
Remember though that 100 is the first term in the sequence. So, we would have (n-1)*9 to subtract 0 from our 1st term and 9 from our second term.
Also, we have 9*(n-1) because we are just subtracting multiples of 9. It is always going to subtract by 9.
If you needed the answer here it is...
The answer to the problem would be
100-9(13-1)
= 100-9(12)
= 100-108
= -8
