Answer:
a(4) = 15/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we're told that the first term is a(1) = 30 and that the common factor r = 1/2.
Thus, the geometric sequence formula specific to this case is
a(n) = 30(1/:2)^(n-1).
What is the fourth term? Let n = 4,
a(4) = 30(1/2)^(4-1), or a(4) = 30(1/2)^(3), or a(4) = 30(1/8) = 30/8, or, in reduced form,
a(4) = 15/4.

Answer: 102 copies
Step-by-step explanation:
4 minutes and 15 seconds are 4.25 minutes, so it will make 102 copies in that time
Note: 1 inch = 2.54 cm is an exact converion, while 1 mile=1.6km is only approximate.
Using conversion
1 inch=2.54 cm
1 mile = 1760*3*12 = 63360 in = 160934.4 cm
If 1 inch = 1 mile, then
2.54 cm : 1 mile = 1.609344 km
1 cm : 0.6336 km (exactly), or
1 cm : 0.6 km (approximately)
Using both conversions:
1 inch = 2.54 cm : 1 mile = 1.6 km
=>
2.54 cm : 1.6 km
1 cm : 1.6/2.54=0.6299 km (approximately), or
1 cm : 0.6 km (approximately)
