Find the infinite sum of 10,5,2.5,1.25...

____ [38]

Notice this is a geometric progression since each number multiplied by some factor equals the next number in the sequence, in this case,

$10 \times r = 5 \Rightarrow r=0.5$

Then by applying the formula for sum to infinity of a geometric progression,
$S_\infty = \frac{a}{1-r} = \frac{10}{1-0.5} = 20$
