Find the common ratio by dividing.
16 / 8 = 2
8 / a = 2
2 / b = 2
The common ratio is 2.
Since we need to find the values of a and b, use the common ratio to solve for them.
8 / 2 = 4 (a)
2 / 2 = 1 (b)
Now, we know that first 5 terms.
We can solve for the 8th term using the previous terms and the common ratio.
6th term: 1 / 2 = 0.5
7th term: 0.5 / 2 = 0.25
8th term: 0.25 / 2 = 0.125
Part A: 2
Part B: a = 4, b = 1
Part C: 0.125
Best of Luck!
Answer:

Answer:
c) 2 + 3 = 5 TRUE
d) 2 + (–3) = -1 True
Step-by-step explanation:
When adding integers (positive and negative whole numbers), there are three cases:
- Positive and positive increases and sum is positive. Ex. 4 + 6 = 10
- Positive and negative where you subtract and take the sign of the larger number. Ex. 3 + -8 = -5 or -3 + 8 = 5
- Negative and negative decrease and the sum if negative. Ex. -4 + -6 = -10.
Use these rules to simplify each expression.
a) 2 + (–3) = -1 not 1 FALSE
b) –3 + 2 = -1 not 5 FALSE
c) 2 + 3 = 5 TRUE
d) 2 + (–3) = -1 True
The band earned $1,200.
1. Subtract the flat fee 1,200-700 =500
2. 500 is what just the band made. Divide that by .16 (16%) to get the total ticket amount... 500 divided by .16 = 3,125
The total ticket amount was $3,125.
