Find the common ratio by dividing.
16 / 8 = 2
8 / a = 2
2 / b = 2
The common ratio is 2.
Since we need to find the values of a and b, use the common ratio to solve for them.
8 / 2 = 4 (a)
2 / 2 = 1 (b)
Now, we know that first 5 terms.
We can solve for the 8th term using the previous terms and the common ratio.
6th term: 1 / 2 = 0.5
7th term: 0.5 / 2 = 0.25
8th term: 0.25 / 2 = 0.125
Part A: 2
Part B: a = 4, b = 1
Part C: 0.125
Best of Luck!
Since 25% is 1/4 divide 28 by 4 to get your answer of 9.5
Original
Z = X/5
Solve for X
Multiply both sides by 5
5Z = X
Answer
X = 5Z
