Answer:

a = 10

T8 = 1280

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a GP is expressed as;

Tn = ar^n-1

Forth term T4 = ar^3

first term = a

If the ratio of the fourth to the first term of a geometric sequence is ⅛ then;

ar^3/a = 1/8

r^3 = 1/8

r = ∛1/8

r = 1/2

If the first term exceed the second by 5, then;

a = 5 + T2

a = 5 + ar

a = 5 + a(1/2)

a-1/2a = 5

1/2 a  5

a = 10

Hence the first term is 10

T8 = ar^7

T10 = 10(1/2)^7

T10 = 10(128)

T10 = 1280

Hence the 8th term is 1280

Answer: 4 Cups

I think in order to solve this, you would need to add up the fractions that they used. So it would be,

\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{8}+\frac{3}{8}+\frac{5}{8}+\frac{5}{8}+\frac{5}{8}+\frac{7}{8}   Transform the Expressions

\frac{1+1}{4} +\frac{3+3+5+5+5+7}{8}    Calculate the sum

\frac{2}{4} +\frac{28}{8}    Reduce

\frac{1}{2}+\frac{7}{2}   Transform the Expression

\frac{1+7}{2}   Calculate

\frac{8}{2}  Reduce the Fraction
