Let a₁ , a₂ , a₃ , a₄ ,... .be a given sequence.
The common ratio of this sequence is the following:
a₂/a₁ = a₃/a₂ = a₄/a₃ = r
Example: 5, 25, 125, 625, ...The common ration is:
25/5 = 125/25 = 625/125 = 5. So r=5 is the common ratio

Answer:
£1920
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount she spent in 2016 is 20% less than 2017. 20% less than is the same as 80% of the amount she spent in 2017. So, to find how much she spent in 2016, multiply 2400 by 0.80 (the decimal form of 80%):
2400 * 0.8 = 1920
Emily spent £1920 on holiday in 2016.
I hope this helps :)
There is a common ratio of 2/3 between the height of the ball at each bounce. So, the bounce heights form a geometric sequence: 27, 18, 12. Two-thirds of 12 is 8, so on the fourth bounce, the ball will reach a height of 8 feet.
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
(1/3)^2x(1/3)^-1
so, we can write this as:
1/3 x 1/3 x 3/1
if calculated by cutting, the answer is 1/3
There is also an easier way to do this,
(1/3)^2 x (1/3)^-1
as the bases are same, the powers will be added.
2+(-1)
2-1
=1
so,
(1/3)^1 or 1/3
