What is the common ratio for the following geometric sequence? -500, 100 , -20, 4,....

1 answer:

The common ratio is -1/5.

Each number is the opposite (negative sign) and one fifth of the last one. This means to get the next term, you multiply by -1/5, so that is your common ratio.

In order to compare the amount of wax, you have to calculate the volume of both candles.

Candle of booth A = πr² h/3
A = π * 4² * 6/3
A = π * 16 * 2
A = 32π

Now, Candle of Booth B = π * 5² * 5/3
B = π * 25 * 5/3
B = 41.6π

In short, Booth B sells the candle with more wax.

Hope this helps!
