r=1/4, a1=4, and a2=a1*r or r=a2/a1 I think that is where you went astray.
sum= 4/(1-1/4)=4/(3/4)=16/3
Find the sum of the infinite geometric series.
4+1+1/4+....
Sum=a_1/1-r
4/1-4=?
r=a_1/a_2
r=4/1=4
a_1=4
I am stuck?Please help me.

This results in extra work by tutors, which should not be necessary.
