Answer

$24, 8, \frac{8}{3}, \frac{8}{9}, \frac{8}{27}$

Work Step by Step

To solve this, we will apply the formula for the nth term of a geometric series. Once we get general formula, we will put values for n from 1 to 5 and determine the first five terms for the sequence: $a_{n}=24 \times (\frac{1}{3})^{n-1}$
