Hello : 
<span>the nth term of a geometric sequence is : 
Un = Up ×r^(n-p)    .   r is the common ratio 
for : p=5 and n= 2
U5 = U2 ×r^3
16 = -2 r^3
r^3 = -8
but : -8 = (-2)^3
so :  r = -2
Un = U2 × r^(n-2)
Un = -2 ×(-2)^(n-2)= (-2)^(n-2+1)

</span><span>the nth term of a geometric sequenceis : Un = (-2)^(n-1)</span>

The number of times he rode his bike × (sum of the number of miles he biked)

= 5 × ( 3 mile + 2 miles + 2 1/4 miles)

= 5 × (3 + 2 + 2 1/4)

Therefore, Option A is the correct option
