Answer:

1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric progression or sequence is a series of numbers with a special property where the ratio between each consecutive number is the same. This number is called the common ratio.

We can test whether the sequence is geometric by dividing consecutive numbers as follows:

[tex]\frac{112}{64} = 1.75[/tex]

[tex]\frac{196}{112} = 1.75[/tex]

[tex]\frac{343}{196} = 1.75[/tex]

So we can see that the common ratio is 1.75.
