<span>Data:

infinite geometric series

A1 = 880

r = 1 / 4

The sum of a geometric series  in sigma notation is:

  n              1 - r^n
 ∑ Ai = A ----------- ; where A = A1
i = 1             1-r

 When | r | < 1 the infinite sum exists and is equal to</span><span><span>:

  ∞               A
 ∑ Ai =   ---------- ; where A = A1
i = 1          1 - r</span>

So, in this case</span><span><span>:

  ∞               880
 ∑ Ai =    -------------- = 4 * 880 / 3 = 3520 /3 = 1173 + 1/3
i = 1         1 - (1/4)</span>  </span>

Answer: 1173 and 1/3

I NEED HELP I NEED TO PASS THIS

Answer:

A. the area of the large pond is 16 times the area of the small pond

Step-by-step explanation:

let's say 4 is the radius of the small circle, which means the area is 50.26548

if the large circle is 4 times the small circle, that means it's radius is 16 which means the area is 804.24772

so if you divide the big circle area by the small circle area:

804.24772/50.26548

it gives you 16.00000079577 which is rounded to 16

therefore, the bigger circle is 16 times bigger than the smaller circle

Answer: 1/3 = 33.3% or 33 ⅓%

1/9 = 11.1%

2/9 = 22.2%

8/9 = 88.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the numerator by the denominator. Multiply the quotient by 100 to change the decimal to a percentage.

All of these are repeating decimals, so it may be required to keep at least one decimal place in the percentage, depending on how precise the calculation must be.

Zaid has a peculiar pair of four-sided dice. When he rolls the dice, the probability of any particular outcome is proportional t
Elden [556K]

Answer:   a) \bold{\dfrac{3}{16}}     b) \bold{\dfrac{1}{36}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

a) In order to get an even number, you have the 3 different scenarios:

1) Even, Even, Even, Even     \dfrac{3\times 3\times 3\times 3}{6^4} \quad = \dfrac{3^4}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{16}

2) Even, Even, Odd, Odd   \dfrac{3\times 3\times 3\times 3}{6^4} \quad = \dfrac{3^4}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{16}

3) Odd, Odd, Odd, Odd   \dfrac{3\times 3\times 3\times 3}{6^4} \quad = \dfrac{3^4}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{16}

<em>Order doesn't matter</em>

Add them up to get your answer: \dfrac{1}{16}+\dfrac{1}{16}+\dfrac{1}{16}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{3}{16}}

b) If one die is a 2 and another is a 3 and the other two dice can be any number, then you have 1 possibility for a 2, 1 possibility for a 3, and 6 possibilities for each of the other two dice.

\dfrac{1\times 1\times 6\times 6}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{6^2}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{36}}
