Answer:

Sometimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example 1/2 / 1/4 = 2

but 1/4 / 1/2 = 1/2.

Answer: Sometimes

Explanation:

Quotient greater than 1:

3/4 divide by 2/3
= 3/4 x 3/2 = 9/8 > 1

4/5 divide by 2/5
= 4/5 x 5/2 = 2 > 1

Quotient less than 1

1/100 divide by 2/10
= 1/100 x 10/2 = 1/20 < 1

1/50 divide by 1/25
= 1/50 x 25/1 = 1/2 < 1

To make a punch Anna adds 8 ounces of apple juice for every 4 ounces of orange juice if she uses 32 ounces of apple juice which

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If our ratio is apple juice to orange juice, then the proportion will be

$\frac{a}{o}:\frac{8}{4}$

If we are looking for how much orange juice she needs if she uses 32 ounces of apple juice, then 32 goes on top of a new ratio and x goes on bottom:

$\frac{a}{o}:\frac{8}{4}=\frac{32}{x}$

That's the proportion. If you need to solve it, cross multiply to get

8x = 128 so

x = 16 ounces of orange juice

Which function can be used to represent the graphed geometric sequence? f(x) = 80(One-fourth) Superscript x minus 1 f(x) = 320(O

telo118 [61]

You can use the formula for getting the xth term of a geometric sequence for the graphed points.

The function that represents the graphed geometric sequence is given by

Option A: $f(x) = 80 \times (\dfrac{1}{4})^{x-1}$

<h3>What is a geometric sequence and how to find its xth terms?</h3>

There are three parameters which differentiate between which geometric sequence we're taking about.

The first parameter is the initial value of the sequence.
The second parameter is the quantity by which we multiply previous term to get the next term.
The third parameter is the length of the sequence. It can be finite or infinite.

Suppose the initial term of a geometric sequence is $a$ and the term by which we multiply the previous term to get the next term is $r$
