Step-by-step explanation:
Given the sequence
A geometric sequence has a constant ratio and is defined by
computing the common ratio
As the first element is
so the nth term will be:
Geometric sequence sum formula
Plugin the values to determine the sum of the first 8 terms
Therefore, the sum of the first 8 terms will be:
Into each bowl, he will pour
... (1/3)×(7 1/5) = (1/3)×(6 6/5) = 2 2/5 . . . liters of juice
