The sequence multiplies by 1/3.
Using the formula for a geometric sequence:
a(n) = a(1) * r^(n-1)
So...
a(n) = 648 * (1/3)^(n-1)
Plugging in 8 for n produces:
a(n) = 648 * (1/3)^(7)
Using a calculator, I find the answer to be 0.296296296...
Answer:
82209,96 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 5,7 x 102 = 581,4 miles/hour
And

2. 141,4 (hours) x 581,4 (miles) ÷ 1 (hour) = 82209,96 miles
It's the rule of three...
I hope it helped you!
