great. So we need the some of the sequence. And so first count the terms, there are five of them. So as Sabah, Ace of one is one. And the ratio that we're multiplying body is 1/3 and we're going to raise that to the fifth power over one minus 1/3. Putting that into our calculator will lead us to a total of 121 over 80.
