Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of n terms of a geometric series with first term a1 and common ratio r is given by ...
Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)
for r=5 and n=6, this becomes ...
15624 = a1·(5^6 -1)/(5 -1) = a1·(15624/4)
Then we have ...
1 = a1/4 . . . . . divide by 15624
4 = a1 . . . . . . multiply by 4
The first term of the series is 4.

Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
repeating decimal. when a fraction is changed to a decimal and the remainder is not zero, a digit or a block of digits will eventually start to repeat. terminating or repeating decimal. since a rational number is a number that can be written as a fraction, every rational number can be expressed as either.
1/7 and 3/14......common denominator is 14
2/14 = 3/14
cross multiply
(14)(3) = (14)(2)
42 = 28...not correct...no, this does not form a proportion
little tip ** proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions and 1/7 does not equal 3/14...now if it would have been 1/7 and 2/14...then it would have been a proportion
