Your class is conducting an experiment to study geometric sequences. The class forms a line . The first person takes a whole pizza and divides it in half ,keeps half and hands the other half to the next person in line . The next people in line do the same with there slices of pizza . Which portion of the whole pizza does the 7th person in line get ? Please help !!!

Respuesta :

To get this answer you begin your pattern with 1, and divide by 2 each time.

Here is your pattern:

1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64.

The first person starts with the 1 whole pizza.

In a geometric pattern, you multiply or divide by the same thing each time.

Answer:

1/64

Step-by-step explanation:

We start this sequence at 1 with a common ratio of 1/2:

1; 1(1/2) = 1/2; 1/2(1/2) = 1/4; 1/4(1/2) = 1/8; 1/8(1/2) = 1/16; 1/16(1/2) = 1/32; 1/32(1/2) = 1/64

The 7th person gets 1/64 of the pizza.
