Answer:

\frac{211}{243}

Explanation:

This is called a series, to solve it you need to give the first hop which is going to move you 1/3 of the way, the you hop another time, this will move you 1/3 of the 2/3 missing, this means you have moved now:

\frac{1}{3}+ \frac{\frac{2}{3}}{3} =\frac{1}{3}+ \frac{2}{9}=\frac{5}{9}

and you are missing 4/9 of the way.

Next hope will move you 1/3 of the 4/9 missing, which is \frac{\frac{4}{9} }{3} = \frac{4}{27}, adding this to the path you have already moved is:

\frac{5}{9}+ \frac{4}{27} =\frac{19}{27}

and you are missing 8/27 of the way.

The fourth hop is the same, one third of the missing path:  \frac{\frac{8}{27} }{3} = \frac{8}{81}, and adding this to the traveled path:

\frac{19}{27}+ \frac{8}{81} =\frac{65}{81}

and you are missing 16/81 of the way.

The last and fifth hop is again one third of the missing path: \frac{\frac{16}{81} }{3} = \frac{16}{243}, and adding this to the already moved way:

\frac{65}{81}+ \frac{16}{243} =\frac{211}{243}

And you end here.

The ______________ sense is the only one that does not send information to the cortex via the thalamus.
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Olfaction

Explanation:

The sense of smell works differently from the other senses in the human being, since it does not need to travel to the hypothalamus to send sensory information, as do the other senses. The olfactory nerve has a direct connection to the forebrain through the cribriform plate bone.
