Find an explicit formula for the sequence 30\,,\,150\,,\,750\,,\,3750,...30,150,750,3750,...30, space, comma, space, 150, space,

The series shown is an geometric series and the explicit formula is given by:
an=ar^(n-1)
where
a=first term
n=number of terms
r=common ratio
from the sequence:
a=30
r=5
thus the explicit formula will be:
an=30(5)^(n-1)
hence the answer is:
an=30(5)^(n-1)
First, do 0.4 + 0.4. So, you can see what number you should get when you check your answer. For this, you should get 0.8
Then, do 0.8 + 1.6
After you add those 0.8 and 1.6, you should get your answer.
To check your answer, plug in your answer where B is and see if you get 0.8. I hope this helps! I did as much explaining as I could! If you need anymore help with this, just comment
The batch of fruit salad has an equal amount of apples and cherries. This is because there are 1 1/2 c of apples and 1 2/4 c of cherries. the 1 1/2 is already simplified but the 1 2/4 is not. 1 2/4 is the same as 1 1/2, therefore apples and cherries have equal amounts.
