Answer:

12.496

Step-by-step explanation:

a=10 (first term)

r= 1/5 (common ratio)

sum of first five terms

[tex] s_{5} = \frac{a( 1 - {r}^{n} ) }{1- r} [/tex]

=10{1-⅕⁵} ÷ 1-⅕

=10{1 - 1/3125} ÷ 4/5

=10{3124/3125} ÷ 4/5

=9.9968÷0.8

=12.496.

OR

a+ar+ar²+ar³+ar⁴

=10+(10x⅕)+(10x⅕²)+(10x⅕³)+(10x⅕⁴)

=10+2+0.4+0.08+0.016

=12+0.48+0.016

=12.496
