Question 71256: If the first term is 12 and the ratio is 4, what is the second term?
Answer by sudhir(14) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Ratio = (first term)/(second term)
so, 4 = 12/(second term)
1/4 = (second term)/12
1*12/4 = (second term)
3 = second term
so, second term = 3 Answer.
cheers!
