Answer:
B. 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
64 x 3/4=48
48 x 3/4=36
and so on…
Answer:
B 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of a geometric progression is given by
an = a1 . rn – 1
Where;
an = the nth term
a1 = the first term
r = common ratio
n = the number of terms in the series
Common ratio, r = the ratio of the second term to the first term
= a2 : a1
Given from the series,
a2 = 48
a1 = 64
Common ratio, r = 48 : 64
= 48/64 = 3/4
