The first day of a football game resulted in a loss of 12 1/2 yards. then a penalty resulted in another loss of 5 yards. what is the total loss or gain?

It would be a loss of 17 1/2 yards because 12 1/2 + 5 =17 1/2

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

the reporter's right

step-by-step explanation:

1/4 = .25 / 25%
