A) $\frac { 1 } { 2 }$
B) 2
C) $\frac { 1 } { 9 }$
D) 9

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The common ratio of a geometric sequence is found by dividing any term by the previous term. For this sequence, dividing the second term $\frac{3}{6}$ by the first term $\frac{3}{3}$ gives $\frac{1}{2}$, which is the common ratio. This ratio remains consistent throughout the sequence.
