I can bake 3/4 of a cake in 5 minutes. How much of the cake canlbake in 1 minute?

3/20 cake in 1 minute

Step-by-step explanation:

"3/4 of a cake in 5 minutes" is a verbal equation.  We can divide both sides (that is, 3/4, 5 min) by 5 to determine the number of cakes I can bake in 1 minute:

  3                    5 min

cake in

4(5)                     5

resulting in 3/20 cake in 1 minute.

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

hope this is what you were asking for!
