Determine the next term in the geometric sequence:

1\2, 1\3, 2\9, 4\27, 8$$?) Guest May 23, 2017 ### Best Answer #1 +1224 +1 Each term in the geometric sequence is being multiplied by 2/3. It took me a second to get it, too! Anyway, multiply 4/27 by 2/3: \(\frac{4}{27}*\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{81}$$

TheXSquareFactor:

A slight correction: The term is: 4/27 x 2/3 = 8 / 81
