    S = a0 / (1 - r)

    S is the sum

    a0 is the first term

    r is the ration

    The sum is 2, and the first term is 0.5, so plug in what you know and see what you come up with:

    2 = 0.5 / (1 - r)

    That's an equation you can solve:

    2 (1 - r) = 0.5

    1 - r = 0.5 / 2 = 0.25

    0.75 - r = 0

    0.75 = r

    Ratio is 0.75.
