Find the common ratio for the geometric sequence for which a1=3 and a5=48

The ratio is common, so you could write:

a1 * r^4 = a^5 (you do r^4 because there are 4 times you need to multiply by the ratio to get from a1 to a5)

Plug in the values:

3 * r^4 = 48

Divide by 3:

r^4 = 16

Take the fourth root of both sides:

r = 2

The common ratio is 2.
