what is the common ratio for the geometric sequence below, written as a fraction? 768, 480, 300, 187.5, …

Crazy boy [7]

Let

$a1=768\\a2=480\\a3=300\\a4=187.5$

Step $1$

Find $\frac{a2}{a1}$

$\frac{a2}{a1} =\frac{480}{768}$

Divide by $96$ numerator and denominator

$\frac{480}{768} =\frac{\frac{480}{96}}{\frac{768}{96}} \\ \\ \frac{480}{768}=\frac{5}{8}$

$a2=a1*\frac{5}{8}$

Step $2$

Find $\frac{a3}{a2}$

$\frac{a3}{a2} =\frac{300}{480}$

Divide by $60$ numerator and denominator

$\frac{300}{480} =\frac{\frac{300}{60}}{\frac{480}{60}} \\ \\ \frac{300}{480}=\frac{5}{8}$

$a3=a2*\frac{5}{8}$

Step $3$

Find $\frac{a4}{a3}$

$a4=187.5 \\ a4=187\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ a4=\frac{375}{2}$

$\frac{a4}{a3} =\frac{\frac{375}{2}}{300} \\ \\ \frac{a4}{a3} =\frac{375}{600}$

Divide by $75$ numerator and denominator

$\frac{375}{600} =\frac{\frac{375}{75}}{\frac{600}{75}} \\ \\ \frac{375}{600}=\frac{5}{8}$

$a4=a3*\frac{5}{8}$

In this problem

The geometric sequence formula is equal to

$a(n+1)=a(n)*\frac{5}{8}\\$

For $n\geq 1$

therefore

the answer is

the common ratio for the geometric sequence above is $\frac{5}{8}$

The theater sells two types of tickets: adult tickets for $15 and

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x=adult tickets and y=child tickets

1) 15x+11y=1889

2) x+y=147

multiply equation 1 by -1/11 on both sides to get:

-(15/11)x-y=-171.73

add new equation with equation 2 to get

-4/11x=-24.73

Isolate x to get:

x=67.99999

Round up to get 68 adult tickets
