Answer

$\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{10}, \frac{1}{20}, \frac{1}{40}, \frac{1}{80}, \frac{1}{160}$

Work Step by Step

Write the first six terms by multiplying by the common ratio $1/2$ to get the next term. The problem tells us that we start at 1/5. $\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{10}, \frac{1}{20}, \frac{1}{40}, \frac{1}{80}, \frac{1}{160}$
