Solution

To find the sum to infinity of a geometric series, we first need to identify the common ratio (r). In this case, each term is multiplied by 3/4 to get the next term (12/16 = 9/12 = 3/4).

The formula for the sum to infinity of a geometric series is S = a / (1 - r), where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Substituting the given values into the formula, we get:

S = 16 / (1 - 3/4) = 16 / (1/4) = 64.

So, the sum to infinity of the given geometric series is 64.
