48, 8, four divided by three , two divided by nine , ...
48, 8, 4/3, 2/9, ...
8÷48 = 8/48 = 1/6
(4/3)÷8 = (4/3)(1/8) = 4/24 = 1/6
(2/9)÷(4/3) = (2/9)(3/4) = 5/37 = 1/6
So this is an infinite geometric series with a = 48 and r = 1/6
So it converges to

The question in the post asks if the given sequence converges or diverges.
It DOES NOT ask about the sum of this sequence, which is totally different question.
The correct answer is: this sequence converges, and its limit is 0 (zero, ZERO).
The answer choice is the second line of the answers option list.
