Answer: we have that

[3/2,3/8,3/32,3/128,3/512]

the sum of the geometric sequence is [3/2+3/8+3/32+3/128+3/512]

=(1/512)*[256*3+64*3+16*3+4*3]

=(3/512)*[256+64+16+4]

=(3/512)*[340]

=(1020/512)

=255/128---------> 1.9922

the answer is

1.9922

another way to calculate it 

is through the following formula

∑=ao*[(1-r^n)/(1-r)]

where 

ao---------> is the first term

r----------> is the common ratio between terms

n----------> is the number of terms

ao=1.5

r=1/4-----> 0.25

n=5

so

∑=1.5*[(1-0.25^5)/(1-0.25)]-------------> 1.99

Step-by-step explanation: we have that

[3/2,3/8,3/32,3/128,3/512]

the sum of the geometric sequence is [3/2+3/8+3/32+3/128+3/512]

=(1/512)*[256*3+64*3+16*3+4*3]

=(3/512)*[256+64+16+4]

=(3/512)*[340]

=(1020/512)

=255/128---------> 1.9922

the answer is

1.9922

r=1/4-----> 0.25

n=5

so

∑=1.5*[(1-0.25^5)/(1-0.25)]-------------> 1.99

How to multiply numbers with exponets and different bases
o-na [289]
When the bases are diffenrent and the exponents of a and b are the same, we can multiply a and b first:
a n ⋅ b n = (a ⋅ b) n
Example:
32 ⋅ 42 = (3⋅4)2 = 122 = 12⋅12 = 144

When the bases and the exponents are different we have to calculate each exponent and then multiply:
a n ⋅ b m
Example:
32 ⋅ 43 = 9 ⋅ 64 = 576
