Question

What is the ratio (multiplier) for the following geometric sequence 8, 2, 0.5, 0.125.?

Answer 1

The desired ratio is `1/4` or `0.25`.

Explanation:

Common ratio (or multiplier) for a geometric sequence is the ratio between a term and its immediately preceding term and this is always same.

As `2/8=0.5/2=0.125/0.5=1/4` or `0.25`

The desired ratio is `1/4` or `0.25`.
