In March, Terell weighed 104 1/3 pounds. In June, he weighed 109 1/2 pounds.
How much weight did Terell gain
between March and June?

Terell gained 5 and 1/6 pounds between March and June

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 109 - 104 = 5

2. Convert 1/3

1/3 = 2/6

3. Convert 1/2

1/2 = 3/6

4. Subtract them

3/6 - 2/6 = 1/6

(Full equation: 109 and 1/2 - 104 and 1/3 = 5 and 1/6 pounds)

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
