Step-by-step explanation:
geometric sequence means every new term is created by multiplying the previous term by a certain constant (here 1/3).
s1 = 5
s2 = s1 × 1/3 = 5 × 1/3
s3 = s2 × 1/3 = s1 × 1/3 × 1/3 = 5 × 1/9
sn = sn-1 × 1/3 = s1 × (1/3)^(n-1) = 5 × (1/3)^(n-1)
s6 = 5 × (1/3)⁵ = 5 × 1/243 = 5/243
