Answer:  The required fourth term of the geometric sequence is \dfrac{10}{9}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the value of the fourth term in a geometric sequence with first term and common ratio as follows :

a(1)=30,~~~~~r=\dfrac{1}{2}.

We know that

the n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r given by

a(n)=a(1)r^{n-1}.

Therefore, the fourth term of the given geometric sequence will be

a(4)=a(1)r^{4-1}=30\times r^3=30\times\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^3=\dfrac{30}{27}=\dfrac{10}{9}.

Thus, the required fourth term of the geometric sequence is \dfrac{10}{9}.

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
n=4\\
a_1=30\\
r=\frac{1}{2}
\end{cases}\implies a_4=30\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{4-1}

Answer:

7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{ \frac{x}{4}  +  \frac{x}{3} }{ \frac{x}{2} }  = \frac{x( \frac{1}{4}  +  \frac{1}{3} )}{ x(\frac{1}{2}) } \\  =  \frac{ \frac{1}{4}  +  \frac{1}{3} }{ \frac{1}{2} }  \\  =  \frac{14}{12}  =  \frac{7}{6}
