Let x be the value of the third term.
Since it's a geometric sequence, then:
Third term/Second term = Fourth term/Third term
x/20 = 11.25/x
Cross multiplication:
x^2 = 225
x = 15
So since the ratio is constant, then it is
x/20 = 15/20 = 3/4
So the common ratio is 3/4 or 0.75.
The 2nd decimal place is 5 so we add one to first deicimal place
Answer is 4.3
Does it say how many of the marbles in the bag are red? Normally you will want to divide the amount of red marbles to the amount total marbles and you will get a percent. It's also note worthy that it states the marble going back into the bag. It would change if it was left out still.
1: Whole Numbers: (Do not include Negative)
- 15
- 134
Rational Numbers:
- 15 (15/1) (You can change 15 into a rational by putting it over 1)
- 134 (134/1)
- -1/3
- 2.4
- -18 (-18/1)
2: Least to Greatest
0.09, 1/9, 9/10, 91%
3: Greatest to Least
5/4, 1 1/5, 100%, 10.5

Let C₀ be current consumption. Then consumption (C) after t years is:
<span>C(t) = C₀ * (1 + 0.1)^t </span>
<span>C(t) = C₀ * (1.1)^t </span>
<span>After 10 years, consumption will be: </span>
<span>C(10) = C₀*(1.1)^10 </span>
<span>C(10) = 2.5937424601 C₀ </span>
<span>Total percentage increase after 10 years: </span>
<span>(2.5937424601 C₀ - C₀) / C₀ = 1.5937424601 C₀ / C₀ = 1.5937424601 = 159.37% </span>
<span>Utility company will have to increase generating capacity by 159.37%</span>
