Next three terms: $0.48, 0.096, 0.0192$ $0.48, 0.096, 0.0192$

Explanation:

Although this was asked under "Arithmetic sequences"
it appears to be a Geometric sequence with a ratio of $0.2$ $0.2$ :
$300$ $300$
$60 = 0.2 \times 300$ $60=0.2xx300$
$12 = 0.2 \times 60$ $12=0.2xx60$
$2.4 = 02 . \times 12$ $2.4=02.xx12$

Assuming this is what is intended, the nest three terms would be:
$0.2 \times 2.4 = 0.48$ $0.2xx2.4=0.48$
$0.2 \times 0.48 = 0.096$ $0.2xx0.48=0.096$
$0.2 \times 0.096 = 0.0192$ $0.2xx0.096=0.0192$
