Question 974682: What is the missing term in the geometric sequence?
3/4, 1/2, 1/3, ?, 4/27, 8/81
A. 1/9
B. 1/4
C. 2/9
D. 2/3
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You go from 3/4 to 1/2 by multiplying by (2/3)
1/2 * 2/3 =1/3.
The factor is (2/3).
4/27 * 2/3 =8/81
1/3 *2/3 = 2/9, or C.
