Answer:

0.046875

Explanation:

To find this, you need to follow the equation to find the n'th term of a geometric sequence, which is:
a_(n) = a_(1) * r^(n-1)

a is the term, with a1 being the first term (6)

r is the common ratio, which is 1/2

n is the term you are trying to find (8th)


a_(8) = 6 * (1)/(2)^(8-1)


a_(8) = 6 * (1)/(2)^(7)


a_(8) = 6 * 0.0078125


a_(8) = 0.046875

Hope this helps!
