It takes 0.15625 minutes to paint 1 square feet
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, I can paint 96 sq ft in 15 minutes
To find: Time taken to paint 1 square feet
From given,
96 square feet is painted in 15 minutes
Let "x" be the time taken to paint 1 square feet
Then, we can say,
96 square feet = 15 minutes
1 square feet = x minutes
This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying
Thus it takes 0.15625 minutes to paint 1 square feet
The ratio of the geometric sequence 40 is 2.
Given that geometric sequence is 40* and we have to find the common ratio of all the terms.
Geometric sequence is a sequence in which all the terms have a common ratio.
Nth termof a GP is a in which a is first term and r is common ratio.
Geometric sequence=40*
We have to first find the first term, second term and third term of a geometric progression.
First term=40*
=40*
=40*1
=40
Second term=40*
=40*
=40*2
=80
Third term=40*
=40*
=40*4
=160
Ratio of first two terms=80/40=2
Ratio of next two terms=160/80=2
Hence the common ratio of geometric sequence is 2.
