<span>Turn 1 3/4 into a decimal number: 1.75
So, 120 miles in 1.75 hours, but we want to know miles in *one* hour. Divide both numbers by 1.75. 120/1.75 miles in 1.75/1.75 hour = 120/1.75 miles in 1 hour. 120/1.75 is 68.57 miles in one hour, so 68.57 mph.</span>

what is the common ratio for the geometric sequence below, written as a fraction? 768, 480, 300, 187.5, …

Crazy boy [7]

Let

$a1=768\\a2=480\\a3=300\\a4=187.5$

Step $1$

Find $\frac{a2}{a1}$

$\frac{a2}{a1} =\frac{480}{768}$

Divide by $96$ numerator and denominator

$\frac{480}{768} =\frac{\frac{480}{96}}{\frac{768}{96}} \\ \\ \frac{480}{768}=\frac{5}{8}$

$a2=a1*\frac{5}{8}$

Step $2$

Find $\frac{a3}{a2}$

$\frac{a3}{a2} =\frac{300}{480}$

Divide by $60$ numerator and denominator

$\frac{300}{480} =\frac{\frac{300}{60}}{\frac{480}{60}} \\ \\ \frac{300}{480}=\frac{5}{8}$

$a3=a2*\frac{5}{8}$

Step $3$

Find $\frac{a4}{a3}$

$a4=187.5 \\ a4=187\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ a4=\frac{375}{2}$

$\frac{a4}{a3} =\frac{\frac{375}{2}}{300} \\ \\ \frac{a4}{a3} =\frac{375}{600}$

Divide by $75$ numerator and denominator

$\frac{375}{600} =\frac{\frac{375}{75}}{\frac{600}{75}} \\ \\ \frac{375}{600}=\frac{5}{8}$

$a4=a3*\frac{5}{8}$

In this problem

The geometric sequence formula is equal to

$a(n+1)=a(n)*\frac{5}{8}\\$

For $n\geq 1$

therefore

the answer is

the common ratio for the geometric sequence above is $\frac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

so first you graph the triangle

count how many units one point is from the other point

and if it's hard to count the units (maybe bc the line is diagonal) use the distance formula or the Pythagorean theorem

A flower pot has a diameter of 6 feet. What is the area of the flower pot, to the nearest whole number?

Elodia [21]

Answer:

28 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is $\pi r^2$ , where r = radius. To find the radius, we split the diameter in half.

6/2 = 3
Thus, the radius is 3.

Now, let's find the area of the circle and approximate pi to 3.14.

$3.14*3^2$
$3.14*9$
$28.26$
28.26 ≈ 28 ft²

Therefore, the answer is 28 ft².
