Question

What is the common ratio of this one?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio in a geometric sequence is the number you multiply to previous term to get the term after.

Dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by that 1/number.

So the common ratio here is 1/4.

This is a geometric sequence since you are able to find all the terms in this sequence by multiplying 1/4 to it's previous term.

Examples:

160(1/4)=40

40(1/4)=10

10(1/4)=10/4=2.5

2.5(1/4)=2.5/4=0.625.
