Question

12. The local county fair tracked the number of riders on a specific ride for 5 consecutive days. 7. 56 448 3,584 28,672 By what factor did the number of riders change each day from the first day to the last day? A. 4,096 C. 49 B. 28,672 D. 8

Answer 1

D. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If we divide the number of riders of a day by the number of riders of the day before, we get:

`\begin{gathered} (56)/(7)=8 \\ (448)/(56)=8 \\ (3,584)/(446)=8 \\ (26,672)/(3,584)=8 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the number of riders changes each day by a factor of 8 because each day the number of riders is 8 times the number of riders of the day before.
