OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can do this in your head ready?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

evidently the ratio is \(\frac{1}{6}\) because you multiply each term by \(\frac{1}{6}\) to get to the next one so we compute in two steps (thinking) "what is one minus one sixth ?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now is when you are supposed to answer \[1-\frac{1}{6}=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k good step two what is the reciprocal of \(\frac{5}{6}\) ? i.e. flip it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes finito

That's it??
