Can I direct you to this question? link

There seems to be typos in your question, but I'm going to assume you asked the same thing as the link mentioned above.

"On Tuesday, the Soto Salad restaurant served 6 1/2 cups of Italian salad dressing. If the restaurant serves 1/4 cup of dressing with each salad, how many salads were ordered with Italian dressing?"

To find the answer you will need to divide 6 1/2 by 1/4.

In order to do this, turn 6 1/2 to an improper fraction: 6 × 2 = 12. 12 + 1 = 13.

Now divide 13/2 by 1/4:

÷ = × = = 26

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
