Answer:

3

Explanation:

Pre-Solving

Recall that the formula for a term in a geometric sequence is
t_n=t_1(r)^(n-1).

This formula in the sigma is the
(2)/(9) (3)^(n-1).

Solving

As we can see, the 3 in
(2)/(9) (3)^(n-1) is in the place of where r is in
t_1(r)^(n-1). So, this means that the value of r is 3.
