Answer:

The answer is 3093.

3093 (if that series you posted actually does stop at 1875; there were no dots after, right?)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a finite series.

We know the first term is 48.

We know the last term is 1875.

What are the terms in between?

Since the terms of the series form a geometric sequence, all you have to do to get from one term to another is multiply by the common ratio.

The common ratio be found by choosing a term and dividing that term by it's previous term.

So 120/48=5/2 or 2.5.

The first term of the sequence is 48.

The second term of the sequence is 48(2.5)=120.

The third term of the sequence is 48(2.5)(2.5)=300.

The fourth term of the sequence is 48(2.5)(2.5)(2.5)=750.

The fifth term of the sequence is 48(2.5)(2.5)(2.5)(2.5)=1875.

So we are done because 1875 was the last term.

This just becomes a simple addition problem of:

48+120+300+750+1875

168      +   1050  +1875

          1218          +1875

                         3093

Anika [276]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

j=k+4

k=3r

j=3r+4

j+k+r=46

3r+4+3r+r=46

7r+4=46

7r=42

r=6, since k=3r

k=18, since j=k+4

j=22

j,k,r=22,18,6
