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]

=(1020/512)

What's the volume of this rectangular prism?
Snowcat [4.5K]

1. Find the length, width, and height of the rectangular prism.
2. Multiply the length, width, and height.
3. Write the answer in cubic units. For example: 60 inches3.

The length is the longest side of the flat surface of the rectangle on the top or bottom of the rectangular prism.

Ex: Length = 5 in.

<span>The width is the shorter side of the flat surface of the rectangle on the top or bottom of the rectangular prism. <span>Ex: Width = 4 in.The height is the part of the rectangular prism that rises up. Imagine that the height is what stretches up a flat rectangle until it becomes a three-dimensional shape. <span>Ex: Height = 3 in.You can multiply them in any order to get the same different result. The formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism is the following: Volume = Length * Height * Width, or V = L * H * W. <span>Ex: V = 5 in. * 4 in. * 3 in. = 60 in.Since you're calculating volume, you're working in a three-dimensional space. Just take your answer and state it in cubic units. Whether you're working in feet, inches, or centimeters, you should state your answer in cubic units. <span>60 will become 60 in3.</span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span>

A pizzeria uses a 3-pound bag of cheese to make 8 pizzas. Use the given ratio to compute the number of pizzas the pizzeria can m
Arada [10]

Answer:

18 pounds = 48 pizzas

18 pounds = 48 pizzas 22.5 pounds = 60 pizzas

18 pounds = 48 pizzas 22.5 pounds = 60 pizzas 27 pounds = 72 pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

1) because they are ratios you multiply 18 and 8 (18 × 8 = 144) then you divide 144 by 3 (144÷3 =48)

2) now you do the same thing multiply 22.5 and 48 (22.5 × 48= 1,080) and divide 1,080 by 18 (1,080 ÷ 18= 60)

3) multiply 27 times 60 (27 × 60= 1,620) now divide 1,620 by 22.5 (1,620 ÷ 22.5= 72)
