If x is the first number in the progression, and r is the common ratio between consecutive terms, then the first four terms in the progression are

\{x,xr,xr^2,xr^3\}

We want to have

\begin{cases}xr^2-x=12\\xr^3-xr=36\end{cases}

In the second equation, we have

xr^3-xr=xr(r^2-1)=36

and in the first, we have

xr^2-x=x(r^2-1)=12

Substituting this into the second equation, we find

xr(r^2-1)=12r=36\implies r=3

So now we have

\begin{cases}9x-x=12\\27x-3x=36\end{cases}\implies x=\dfrac32

Then the four numbers are

\left\{\dfrac32,\dfrac92,\dfrac{27}2,\dfrac{81}2\right\}

If you know the rate of a water leak in gallons per hour, how can you find the number of hours it takes for 1 gallon to leak out
Evgen [1.6K]

1/the rate of leakage per hour

This will give you the time it takes for 1 gallon to leak out in hours.  

For example, if something is leaking at the rate of 12 gallons per hour, it will take 1/12 of an hour for 1 gallon to leak out. ( or 5 min)
