There are two ways to solve this problem. First, you can use the derived formula for geometric sequence which can be used to find any nth term of the sequence. Or, we can use the second easier way. Since we are given with the 700th term, and the asked is the 699th term, then that means,

(699th term)*(Common Ratio) = 700th term
699th term = 700th term/Common Ratio = 20/0.25 = <em>80</em>

Well first, you need to solve within the parentheses. You would get 23.8 - 14 - 8.6

Then you would subtract them in order, and your answer would be 1.2

Answer:

1/16 of the class are left handed boys but we do not know the amount of left handed girls so we cannot be sure.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 * 1/8 = 1/16

there is still no way to be sure of how many girls are left handed so you should probably make a note by the problem so the mistake on the test will be realized
