a.
In order to find the common ratio, we just need to divide a term by the term that comes before it.
So using the terms 20 and -5, we have:

b.
The recursive rule can be found with the formula:

Where an is the nth term and q is the ratio. So we have:

c.
The explicit rule can be written as:

Where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term and q is the ratio. So:
1/3 chances the bubblegum is blue. To solve this problem you add all of the bubblegum together so 25+20+15 to get 60 then express it as a fraction to show only the blue pieces which would be 20/60 and you can simplify it to 1/3 or 33.33%
Answer:
=> 2.7 × 10³ × 8 × 10² / 4 × 10^-6
=> 2.7 × 8 × 10^3+2+6 /4
=> 5.4 × 10¹¹
5.4 × 10^11
