Answer:

2/5

Explanation:

The common ratio is r = (1/10)/(1/5) = 5/10 = 1/2. The first term is a1 = 1/5.

The sum of an infinite geometric series is given by ...

S = a1/(1 -r)

S = (1/5)/(1 -1/2) = (2/10)/(5/10) = 2/5

The sum of the series is 2/5.

_____

It might stick in your head that the sum of 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ... is 2. The given series is 1/5 times that.
