\n" ); document.write( "Find the common ratio and the next term for the sequence shown if possible. And perhaps how you got to that? Thanks!
\n" ); document.write( "Squence: 333 1/3, 250, 187 1/2.
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Divide the 2nd term (250) by the 1st term (\"333%261%2F3\". This should give you \"3%2F4\", or .75
\n" ); document.write( "Divide the 3rd term (\"187%261%2F2\") by the 2nd term (250). This should give you \"3%2F4\", or .75
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the common ratio, or r = \"3%2F4\", or .75\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next term, or the 4th term, or \"t%5B4%5D+=+%28187%261%2F2%29+%2A+%283%2F4%29\", or \"%28375%2F2%29+%2A+%283%2F4%29\", or \"1125%2F8\", or \"highlight_green%28140%265%2F8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "OR
\n" ); document.write( "Next term, or the 4th term, or \"t%5B4%5D+=+a%5B1%5D+%2A+%283%2F4%29%5E%284+-+1%29\", or \"t%5B4%5D+=+%28333%261%2F3%29+%2A+%283%2F4%29%5E3\", or \"t%5B4%5D+=+%281000%2F3%29+%2A+%2827%2F64%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "After cancelling, \"t%5B4%5D+=+2250%2F16\", or \"140%2610%2F16\", or \"highlight_green%28140%265%2F8%29\"
