what is the common ratio for the geometric sequence below, written as a fraction? 768, 480, 300, 187.5, …

Crazy boy [7]

Let

$a1=768\\a2=480\\a3=300\\a4=187.5$

Step $1$

Find $\frac{a2}{a1}$

$\frac{a2}{a1} =\frac{480}{768}$

Divide by $96$ numerator and denominator

$\frac{480}{768} =\frac{\frac{480}{96}}{\frac{768}{96}} \\ \\ \frac{480}{768}=\frac{5}{8}$

$a2=a1*\frac{5}{8}$

Step $2$

Find $\frac{a3}{a2}$

$\frac{a3}{a2} =\frac{300}{480}$

Divide by $60$ numerator and denominator

$\frac{300}{480} =\frac{\frac{300}{60}}{\frac{480}{60}} \\ \\ \frac{300}{480}=\frac{5}{8}$

$a3=a2*\frac{5}{8}$

Step $3$

Find $\frac{a4}{a3}$

$a4=187.5 \\ a4=187\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ a4=\frac{375}{2}$

$\frac{a4}{a3} =\frac{\frac{375}{2}}{300} \\ \\ \frac{a4}{a3} =\frac{375}{600}$

Divide by $75$ numerator and denominator

$\frac{375}{600} =\frac{\frac{375}{75}}{\frac{600}{75}} \\ \\ \frac{375}{600}=\frac{5}{8}$

$a4=a3*\frac{5}{8}$

In this problem

The geometric sequence formula is equal to

$a(n+1)=a(n)*\frac{5}{8}\\$

For $n\geq 1$

therefore

the answer is

the common ratio for the geometric sequence above is $\frac{5}{8}$

Nicholas wrote the steps below to simplify the fraction 20/30 find his error and correct it

Dmitrij [34]

Unfortunately, Nicholas' steps in simplifying the fraction is not reflected in the question. However, the general idea of the simplifying fraction is to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of both the numerator and the denominator. In this case, the GCF is 10. Then, divide both numbers by the GCF. The answer for this item should be 2/3.
