The common ratio of 2, 10/3, 50/9 is
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, series of elements are
We have to find the common ratio of the above given series.
We know that, common ratio of an G.P is division of any number in that series with the previous number of the series.
So, now take and 2
Hence, the common ratio of the given series is
First we need to know how many months is 2 years. To answer that we multiply the number of months in a year by 2 and get 48 months.
Every 3 months the population of turtles doubles, but to get how many times the population doubles, you need to divide 48 months by 3 to get 16.
So population of 400 will get <u>doubled</u> 16 times in the following <u>two</u> years.
We construct the following equation where is the final population,
Hope this helps. :)
