Q) <span>If 365 work days are split among 12 employees evenly
Part A: To understand this question, you need to read carefully and pick out key words that tells you what to do. All math word / puzzle problems have key words that tell you what you need to do.
For instance, the key word split tells us we need to divide. So, we know we have 365 work days that need to be split among 12 employees. So for Part A:
365 / 12
For Part B it wants to know what this represents. It represent the number of days each of the 12 employees will get if split evenly among each employee. </span>
Answer:
A: 2
B: -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
A: We are looking for the common ratio between the terms of the sequence, which is essentially what you are multiplying by to get from one term to the next. To find this, we just have to divide the second term by the first term.
-4 / -2 = 2, therefore our common ratio is 2.
We can check this by continuing to multiply the next terms by 2 - -4 x 2 = -8, -8 x 2 = -16, so the pattern works.
B: For B, we will do exactly the same method as before: 3/-9 = -1/3, so our multiplier is -1/3.
To check: 3 x -1/3 = -1, and -1 x -1/3 = 1/3, which both follow our rule.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
