Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of any objects can be calculated by dividing the two objects with the common number.

Boys in the sixth grade = 35.

Girls in the sixth grade = 42.

Ratio of boys to girl = \frac{boys}{girls}

Ratio = \frac{35}{42}

Ratio = 5:6. (the numbers are divided by 7).

Thus, the ratio is 5:6 and not the 5:7.

Thus, Lonnie is not correct.

No... 35 divided by 7 is 5 and 42 divided 7 is 6 ... it should actually be 5:6

What is the explicit rule for this geometric sequence?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Tn = 2/3^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^{n-1}

a is the first term

n is the number of terms

r is t common ratio

From the sequence

a = 2/9

r = (2/3)/(2/9) = 2/(2/3) =3

Substitute

Tn = 2/9(3)^(n-1)

Tn = 2/3^(n-1)

Hence the required equation is Tn = 2/3^(n-1)
