Look at the sequence : 5, -10, 20, -40, 80

5 (5x1) , -10 -(5x2), 20(10x2), -40 -(20x2), 80(40x2)

so the next number should be previous number in the sequence multiplied by 2 and a negative sign.

-`(80x2) = -160

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

120 seems like the most sensible answer.

step-by-step explanation:

if there is only one topping on all caramel apples and there's 120 of them. then all apples should/will be covered in sprinkles. make sense?
