Find the common ratio by dividing.
16 / 8 = 2
8 / a = 2
2 / b = 2
The common ratio is 2.
Since we need to find the values of a and b, use the common ratio to solve for them.
8 / 2 = 4 (a)
2 / 2 = 1 (b)
Now, we know that first 5 terms.
We can solve for the 8th term using the previous terms and the common ratio.
6th term: 1 / 2 = 0.5
7th term: 0.5 / 2 = 0.25
8th term: 0.25 / 2 = 0.125
Part A: 2
Part B: a = 4, b = 1
Part C: 0.125
Best of Luck!
The question is "What is the scale of the model to the actual statue"
That means you must put 2/15.
2 being the model
15 being the actual statue
Take that fraction and equal is to 1/x.
Multiply 15 to 1 and 2 to x.
In the end, to solve, you divide 15 by 2x.
The answer is X=7.5
1 : 7.5
