Formula of the sum of the 1st nth term in a Geometric Progression:
Sum = a₁(1-rⁿ)/(1-r), where a₁ = 1st term, r = common ratio and n= rank nth of term (r≠1)
Sum = (-11)[1-(-5⁸)] /[(1-(-5)]
Sum = (-11)(1- 390625)/(6)
SUM = 716,144
The answer is a I'm pretty sure
Let us assume as at when they meet, the time elapsed is x hours.
Fred 3 mi/h
John 2 mi/h
Distance = speed * time
Fred = 3x
John = 2x
Houses are 4miles apart.
So: 3x + 2x = 4 5x = 4
x = 4/5 hour = 0.8 hour or 0.8*60 = 48 minutes
Time elapsed is 0.8 hour or 48 minutes.
34/32 can also be written as 1.0625 or 1 & 1/16.
