Answer:

B. 1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5}{6} + \frac{3}{6} = \frac{8}{6}$

$\frac{8}{6} = \frac{4}{3}$

three can go into 4 once, so we have a whole number of 1 and a leftover 1/3.

= $1\frac{1}{3}$

hope this helps :)

Add the first 12 terms of this sequence:<br> 15, 45, 135, 405, 1215, ...

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a₁ = 15

a₂/a₁ = 45/15 = 3

a₃/a₂ = 135/45 = 3

...

It is a geometric sequence with a common ratio r=3.

Sum of first 12 terms = a₁·(1-r¹²)/(1-r)

= 15·(1-3¹²)/(1-3)

= 15·(-531,441)/(-2)

= 3,985,800
