Theirs your answer 661.091628959
I'm assuming the sequence is: -320, 80, -20, 5
Divide each term by the previous term to get the common ratio r
r = (term 2)/(term 1) = 80/(-320) = -1/4
r = (term 3)/(term 2) = -20/80 = -1/4
r = (term 4)/(term 3) = 5/(-20) = -1/4
No matter which term you pick (as long as it's not the first one) dividing it by the previous term leads to -1/4 or -0.25 as the common ratio
Answer: -1/4
It seems like none of the answer choices have -1/4 but it could be choice A was supposed to show "-1/4" instead of "-14"? Perhaps the division sign didn't show up for some reason?
Draw a trapezoid and count the total lengths you have to get the answer

absolute 17 would be greater because the absolute signs cancel out the negatives
