Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The first step to solving this problem is verifying if this sequence is an arithmetic sequence or a geometric sequence.
This sequence is arithmetic if:

We have that:




This is not an arithmetic sequence.
This sequence is geometric if:




This is a geometric sequence, in which:
The first term is 40, so 
The common ratio is
, so
.
We have that:

The 10th term is
. So:



Simplifying by 4, we have:

Answer:
Number of weeks in a year = 52 weeks
If in a normal year when each package of flea treatment lasts for 4 weeks, then in a year there Jim's dog will have to be treated for
Where as, when the fleas are bad in a year, the treatment lasts for only 3 weeks.
Then in a year Jim's dog would get
So Jim's dog will get 17- 13 =4 treatments more.
4 treatments that are made in 3 weeks each will be 4×3 =12 weeks more treatment
1/4 remained
2/4 - mist + 1/4 -flout = 3/4
4/4 - 3/4 = 1/4
