Each bus for Philips Elementary School transports 40 students to school. There are 12 buses that transport students to school each day. How many students are transported to school each day by bus? Show your work.

480 students are transported to school each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 12 buses and each one of them transports 40 students that means that the total amount of students will be equal to...

12 x 40 = 480

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
