Answer:
- Three beers.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first mathematician orders 1 beer, the second orders 1/2 a beer, the third orders 1/4 a beer, the fourth orders 1/8 a beer, the fifth orders 1/16 a beer. . .
- The Sequence is:
- On observation, the next term is derived through the division of the previous term by 2.
- 2 is the constant factor
- Therefore, the bartender says 'Fine, I’ll just pour you two beers.'
Therefore, if the first mathematician orders 6 beers, the second orders 2 beer, the third orders 2/3 a beer, and so on
- The sequence is
- On observation, the next term is derived through the division of the previous term by 3.
- 3 is the constant factor
- Therefore, the bartender should pour three beers.
