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

David says he has 2/3 of a pipe length​ left, while Don says he has 11/16 of a length left. Which person has the longest section
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Don

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We make the fractions have common denominators so it is easier to compare them. We can do this buy multiplying 2/3 by a factor of 16, so it becomes 32/48. For 11/16, we multiply by a factor of 3 so it becomes 33/48. It is now apparent that Don has the longer pipe.
