Answer:

r=0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider geometric sequence

[tex]b_1=6,\\ \\b_2=3.6,\\ \\b_3=2.16,\\ \\b_4=1.296,...[/tex]

In geometric sequence

[tex]b_i=b_{i-1}\cdot r,[/tex]

then

[tex]b_2=b_1\cdot r[/tex]

and

[tex]3.6=6r,\ r=\dfrac{3.6}{6}=0.6.[/tex]

Note that

[tex]2.16=3.6\cdot 0.6,\\ \\1.296=2.16\cdot 0.6.[/tex]

This means that ratio r=0.6.
