A certain recipe has 4 tablespoons of cinnamon to 7 tablespoons of brown sugar. What is the ratio of cinnamon you have one tablespoon of brown sugar?

1:1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

4 tablespoons of cinnamon to 7 tablespoons of brown sugar can be written as

4:7

If that 4 turns to a 1, you have divided by 4. To find out the ratio to brown sugar, do 7 divided by 4, which is 1.75

This can be expressed as 1:1.75

5.5

step-by-step explanation:

see explanation

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
