The answer would have to be 4x^2y
The common ratio is the current number divided by the previous. So the ratio is 1/2
The sequence is 12, 6, 3, 3/2, 3/4 ...
You can obtain any number multiplying the previous number times 1/2.
6 = 12 *(1/2)
3 = 6*(1/2)
3/2 = 3*(1/2)
A number that cannot be expressed that way is irrational. For example, one third in decimal form is 0.33333333333333 (the threes go on forever). However, one third can be express as 1 divided by 3, and since 1 and 3 are both integers, one third is a rational number.
