Answer

$S_{∞} = \frac{144}{5}$

Work Step by Step

Given $a_{1} = 24$ and $r = \frac{1}{6}$ Sum of the terms of an infinite geometric sequence $S_{∞} = \frac{a1}{1-r}$ Substituting $a_{1}$and $r$ values $S_{∞} = \frac{24}{1-\frac{1}{6}}$ $S_{∞} = \frac{24}{\frac{6-1}{6}}$ $S_{∞} = \frac{24}{\frac{5}{6}}$ $S_{∞} = 24 \times \frac{6}{5}$ $S_{∞} = \frac{144}{5}$
