Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence; we know that because of the words "common ratio."  The general formula for a geometric sequence is

a(n) = a(1)*r^(n - 1), where r is the common ratio.

Here, a(1) = 1, r = 1/3, and so

a(1) = 1 (given)

a(2) = 1/3 (this is a(1) multiplied by 1/3)

a(3) = 1/9 (this is a(2) multiplied by 1/3)

a(4) = 1/27

a(5) = 1/81
