Sagot :


The first one is D because it's being multiplied by 6 each time. The pattern of negative and positive numbers doesn't occur so any negative numbers are taken out and if it was multiplied by 1/6 the denominator would be getting larger each time it was multiplied.

The second one is C, 71 multiplied by .25 equals 17.75. Which is the difference between 22.25 and 4.5.
