Melanie's fruit punch recipe calls for 6 cups of apple juice for every 3 cups of carrot juice. How many cups of carrot juice are used for each cup of apple juice?

1/2 cup of carrot juice for each cup of apple juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of carrot juice to apple juice is 3:6

Also written as 1:2

1/2 cup of carrot juice per 1 cup of apple juice

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
