What is the next term of the geometric sequence?
72,36, 18,

9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common ratio, take the second term and divide by the first

36/72 = 1/2

To find the next term, take the last term and multiply by the common ratio

18*1/2 = 9

9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio = 36/72 = 18/36 = 1/2.

So the next term is 18 * 1/2 = 9.

step-by-step explanation:

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
