Answer:
x = 4.363636...
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a ratio
6 miles : 55 minutes
x miles : 40 minutes
Cross Multiply
55x = 40*6
55x = 240
55x / 55 = 240 / 55
x = 4.363636...

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C. The 6th term is positive/negative 80
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Geometric Progression


Required

To get the 6th term of the progression, first we need to solve for the first term and the common ratio of the progression;
To solve the common ratio;
Divide the 7th term by the 5th term; This gives

Divide the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by 40
----- equation 1
Recall that the formula of a GP is

Where n is the nth term
So,


Substitute the above expression in equation 1
becomes


Square root both sides

r = ±
Next, is to solve for the first term;
Using 
By substituting 160 for T5 and ±
for r;
We get


Multiply through by 16



Now, we can easily solve for the 6th term
Recall that the formula of a GP is

Here, n = 6;



r = ±
So,
or 
or 
or 
±80
Hence, the 6th term is positive/negative 80
3/5 and 6/8 are not proportional as even though 3 goes into 6 evenly, 5 does not go into 8 evenly so that makes it disproportional.
