Answer

$a_1=24 \\a_2=8 \\a_3=\frac{8}{3} \\a_4=\frac{8}{9} \\a_5=\frac{8}{27}$

Work Step by Step

Multiply the common ratio to get the next term to obtain: $a_1=24 \\a_2=24(\frac{1}{3}) = 8 \\a_3=8(\frac{1}{3})=\frac{8}{3} \\a_4=\frac{8}{3}(\frac{1}{3})=\frac{8}{9} \\a_5=\frac{8}{9}(\frac{1}{3}) = \frac{8}{27}$
