<p>6) Just assign values, as follows:</p>

<p>First term: 1 (for example)
2nd: 2 (ratio 2:1)
3rd: 4 (ratio 2:1)
4th:8
5th:16
6th:32
7th:64
8th:128.</p>

<p>The question asks for the ratio: 8th to 5th. So:</p>

<p>ratio= 8th/5th= 128/16= 8</p>

<p>Which means that the ratio is 8:1.</p>

<p>The answer is C.
I’m still working on the other two.</p>

<p>I’m stumped on # 5.</p>

5

<p>I came upon 3, for number 5.
Because there are 9 diff. Ways, but 3 of those will be the same, and another 3, with the K, will be the same. So minus 6. I don’t know if its correct</p>

6

<p>I also got 3 for number 5</p>

7

<p>Or it could be 5</p>

8

<p>5:</p>

<p>(3+2)^1 = 5
(1+2)^3 = 27
(3+1)^2 = 16</p>

<p>no other combos</p>

<p>so answer is 3</p>

9

<p>(1+2)^3 = 27
(1+3)^2 = 16
(2+1)^3 = 27
(2+3)^1 = 5
(3+1)^2 = 16
(3+2)^1 = 5</p>

<p>So there are 3 different values that can be obtained, 27, 16, and 5</p>

<p>EDIT: brundi got it posted before me :)</p>

10

<p>Oh, now get it.</p>

<h1>5:</h1>

<p>(1+3)^2 = 16
(2+1)^3 = 27
(2+3)^1 = 5
(3+1)^2 = 16
(3+2)^1 = 5
(1+2)^3 = 27</p>

<p>Three different values!!</p>
