The number of bags of wheat that will be on the sixth square is 32wheats
The amount of wheat in each square are expressed in geometric sequence as shown.
1, 2, 4, 8, 16,....
Geometric sequence is a sequence where the ratio of the succeeding and the preceding term is equal to a common ratio.
The nth term is expressed as
Tn = ar^{n-1}
a is the first term
r is the common quantity
n is the number of terms
a = 1
n = 6 (sixth square)
r = 4/2 = 2/1 = 2
Substitute the given values into the formula
T6 = 1(2)^{6-1}
T6 = 2^5
T6 = 32
Hence the number of bags of wheat that will be on the sixth square is 32wheats
