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

1 answer:

3 0

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.

The houck family's train traveled 552 miles in 6 hours. The Roberts family traveled at 744 miles in 8 hours which family is trav

rusak2 [61]

Answer: Both families were travelling at the same speed/rate of 1mile/0.65mins or 1mile/0.01hr.

Step-by-step explanation: Speed of Houck family's train = 552m/6hrs

speed of Robert family's train = 744m/8hrs.

Therefore considering Houck speed,

552miles = 6hours

1mile = (6 x 60)/552

= 360/552

= 0.65minutes. Average speed = 1mile/0.65mins. Or 1mile/0.01hr

For Robert

744miles = 8hours

1mile = ( 8 x 60 )/744

= (480/744)minutes

= 0.645

= 0.65minutes. Average speed = 1mile/0.65mins. Or 1mile/0.01hr

Conclusion: Both families were travelling at the same speed/rate.

To get that minutes in hour, just divide by 60 to get concert to hours.
