To find the fifth term of a geometric sequence, we need to use the formula:
a_n = a_1 * r^(n-1)
where a_n is the nth term of the sequence, a_1 is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the number of the term we want to find.
In this case, we are given that the first term (a_1) is 6 and the common ratio (r) is 0.5. We want to find the fifth term (a_5).
Using the formula, we have:
a_5 = a_1 * r^(5-1)
a_5 = 6 * 0.5^(4)
a_5 = 6 * 0.0625
a_5 = 0.375
Therefore, the fifth term of the sequence is 0.375.
