Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to infinity of a geometric series is

S (∞ ) = \frac{a}{1-r} ( - 1 < r < 1 )

where a is the first term 8 and r is the common ratio, hence

S(∞ ) = {8}{1-\{1}{2} } = {8}{1}{2} } = 16

Stephen makes wooden shelves for his room he starts with a board that is 20 feet long.Stephen wants to make the shelves 3/4 foot

jek_recluse [69]

The number of shelves stephen can make is approximately 27

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Stephen makes wooden shelves for his room

Stephen wants to make the shelves 3/4 foot long

He starts with a board that is 20 feet long

To find: number of shelves he can make

So the number of shelves stephen can make can make is found out by dividing 20 feet long board by 3/4 foot long

$\text {number of shelves }=\frac{\text { total length of board stephen has }}{\text { length of each board }}$

$\text {number of shelves }=\frac{20}{3 / 4}=\frac{20}{0.75}=26.6$

So the number of shelves stephen can make is approximately 27
