    The geometric sequence is 27,9,3,1,1/3, 1/9,1/27 ...

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We have given the 5th term a5 = 1/3

    Constant ratio r = 1/3

    a5 = a 1 * r^4

    1/3 = a1 * (1/3) ^4

    1/3 = a1 * 1/81

    a1 = 1/3 : 1/81

    We can solve it as:

    a1 = 1/3 * 81

    a1 = 27

    Thus the geometric sequence is 27,9,3,1,1/3, 1/9,1/27 ...
