Which formula can be used to find the nth term of a geometric sequence where the fifth term isn1/16 and the common ratio is 1/4?

1/16=a(1/4)^(5-1)

1/16=a(1/4)^4

1/16=a/256

256/16=a

16=a

So the initial term is 16 so our formula is:

a(n)=16(1/4)^(n-1)

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
