Abigail's mom asked her to go to the store and purchase 5 kilograms (kg) of potatoes. When she got to the store, she saw the potatoes were sold by the pound. How many pounds of potatoes does she need to buy?

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

14

step-by-step explanation:

14 x 3 = 42
