What is the next number in the sequence? 9….3….1….1/3…

Solution:

The given sequence is a geometric progression.

The first term is 9 and the second term is 3. It is obtained by dividing 9 by 3.

Similarly, the third term(1) is obtained by dividing the second term(3) by 3.

Down the line, the fifth term is obtained by dividing the fourth term by 3.

So, 4^th term = 3^rd term / 3 = (1/3) / 3 = 1/ 9

Thus, the next number in the sequence 9….3….1….1/3 is 1/9.

Summary:

The next number in the sequence 9….3….1….1/3 is 1/9
