The numbers are 5 and 12.
Smaller number = x
Larger number = y
x +y =17
y = 3x - 3
x +3x -3 = 17
4x = 20
x = 5
smaller number is 5
y = 3(5) - 3
y = 12
larger number is 12.

what is the common ratio for the geometric sequence below, written as a fraction? 768, 480, 300, 187.5, …

Crazy boy [7]

Let

$a1=768\\a2=480\\a3=300\\a4=187.5$

Step $1$

Find $\frac{a2}{a1}$

$\frac{a2}{a1} =\frac{480}{768}$

Divide by $96$ numerator and denominator

$\frac{480}{768} =\frac{\frac{480}{96}}{\frac{768}{96}} \\ \\ \frac{480}{768}=\frac{5}{8}$

$a2=a1*\frac{5}{8}$

Step $2$

Find $\frac{a3}{a2}$

$\frac{a3}{a2} =\frac{300}{480}$

Divide by $60$ numerator and denominator

$\frac{300}{480} =\frac{\frac{300}{60}}{\frac{480}{60}} \\ \\ \frac{300}{480}=\frac{5}{8}$

$a3=a2*\frac{5}{8}$

Step $3$

Find $\frac{a4}{a3}$

$a4=187.5 \\ a4=187\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ a4=\frac{375}{2}$

$\frac{a4}{a3} =\frac{\frac{375}{2}}{300} \\ \\ \frac{a4}{a3} =\frac{375}{600}$

Divide by $75$ numerator and denominator

$\frac{375}{600} =\frac{\frac{375}{75}}{\frac{600}{75}} \\ \\ \frac{375}{600}=\frac{5}{8}$

$a4=a3*\frac{5}{8}$

In this problem

The geometric sequence formula is equal to

$a(n+1)=a(n)*\frac{5}{8}\\$

For $n\geq 1$

therefore

the answer is

the common ratio for the geometric sequence above is $\frac{5}{8}$
