Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio is the constant found by dividing any term by the previous term.

r=6/36=1/6

r=1/6

I am assuming the 16 at the end of the sequence was a typo. IF 16 was at the end of the sequence it is NOT a geometric sequence as there would not be a common ratio for all terms.
