Step-by-step explanation:

this is clearly not a linear sequence (the terms don't have the same difference).

so, it has to be a geometric sequence.

the common ratio is r.

s2 = s1 × r

16 = 64 × r

r = 16/64 = 1/4

control :

s3 = s2×r

4 = 16 × 1/4 = 4

correct.

How do you write 5.6 as a mixed number as a decimal?

Mama L [17]

5.6 in a fraction is 5 and 6/10, or 5 3/5. To get the mixed fraction, multiply the whole number (to the left) by the denominator (bottom of fraction), and add to the numerator (top of fraction). So 5 × 5 = 25 + 3 = 28. So it'd be 28/5.
