Answer:


a_n=a_(n-1)\left((1)/(6)\right)
a_n=(3)/(5)\left((1)/(6)\right){}^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

we can see for the fractions with 1 as the numerator that the denominator is multiplied by 6 and the numerator remains the same, that corresponds to multiply the previous fraction by 1/6 and when verifying with the first fraction we observe that applies for all the terms.
