Anovelist can write 1 chapter in 6 days. at that rate how many chapters can be written in 24 days

I think that the answer would be 4 chapters.

Sorry if I'm wrong!

Think:  "1 chapter in 6 days."  Now if we consider 24 days (which is 4 times 6 days), then the number of chapters that can be written in 24 days is 4.

Alternatively, set up and solve an equation of ratios:

1      6 days

-- =

x      24 days

This yields x = 4; 4 chapters can be written in 24 days.

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
