I need help with this problem.
In decimal form, write the ratio of the first 8 consecutive square numbers.
1 squared:2 squared, 2 squared:3squared, 3 squared:4 squared
1 squared:2 squared
= 1²:2²
= 1:4
=1/4
=0.25
Can you continue?
To find the decimal form of the ratio of the first 8 consecutive square numbers, we will calculate each square number and then divide them.
The first 8 consecutive square numbers are as follows:
1 squared = 1
2 squared = 4
3 squared = 9
4 squared = 16
5 squared = 25
6 squared = 36
7 squared = 49
8 squared = 64
Now, let's calculate the ratios:
1 squared : 2 squared = 1/4 = 0.25
2 squared : 3 squared = 4/9 = 0.4444...
3 squared : 4 squared = 9/16 = 0.5625
So, in decimal form, the ratio of the first 8 consecutive square numbers is:
0.25 : 0.4444... : 0.5625
