Given:

Elise is making punch for the party that requires 2 parts of fruit juice for every 5 parts of ginger ale.

To make the punch, she uses 18 ounces of fruit juice and 3 containers of ginger ale.

To find:

The number of ounces in each container of ginger ale.

Solution:

Let n be the number of ounces in each container of ginger ale.

According to the question, the ratio of fruit juice and ginger ale is 2:5. it means,

Divide both sides by 2.

So, ginger required for punch is 45 ounces.

Number of containers = 3

Number of ounces in each container of ginger ale = n

Number of ounces in 3 containers of ginger ale = 3n

Now,

Divide both sides by 3.

Therefore, 15 ounces are in each container of ginger ale.

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

answer: the anser is 3
