Answer:
15, 5, 5/3, 5/9, 5/27
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall, that the general form of a geometric series is
a, ar, ar², ar³, .........
where a is the first term and r is the ratio
It is given that the first time is 15, hence a = 15
also given that ratio is 1/3
hence the first 5 terms are:
15, (15)(1/3), (15)(1/3)^2, (15)(1/3)^3, (15)(1/3)^4
simplifying each term gives
15, 5, 5/3, 5/9, 5/27
