Step-by-step explanation:

the introduction of a fraction tells us that we are dealing with multiplications, and therefore a geometric sequence (where every new term is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor, the ratio r).

I think your teacher made a mistake, or you made one when typing the question in here.

there is no factor r that creates

15×r = 9

and

9×r = 5/27

it would mean that

15 × r² = 5/27

r² = 5/27 / 15 = 5/27 × 1/15 = 5/405 = 1/81

r = 1/9

but 15 × 1/9 = 5 × 1/3 = 5/3 is NOT 9

and 9 × 1/9 = 9/9 = 1 is NOT 5/27

so, this can't be right.

on the other hand

15 × r = 9

r = 9/15 = 3/5

and then

9 × 3/5 = 27/5

so, either the sequence should have been

15, 5/3, 5/27

or (and I suspect this to be true)

15, 9, 27/5

under that assumption we have

s1 = 15

r = 3/5

sn = sn-1 × r = s1 × r^(n-1) = 15 × (3/5)^(n-1)

s10 = 15 × (3/5)⁹ = 15 × 19683/1953125 =

= 3 × 19683/390625 = 59049/390625 =

= 0.15116544 ≈ 0.151

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME THE ANSWER TO QUESTION 6? PLS ILY
SashulF [63]

Answer:

12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find 1/8 of 100 so we would write it as 100÷8 to get 12.5

Now we know that 12.5 is equivalent to 1/8 but let's double check.

12.5×8 is 100

1/8 ×8 is 8/8

100=8/8
