Respuesta :

With each step the value gets divided by 3

so the common ratio r=1/3

Answer:

The common ratio is  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence,

27, 9, 3, 1

Since,

[tex]\frac{9}{27}=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Hence, in the given sequence the ratio of a term to its previous term is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, we can say that,

The common ratio of the given sequence is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
