Let's divide terms


\\ \sf\longmapsto r=(405)/(1215)=(1)/(3)


\\ \sf\longmapsto r=(135)/(405)=(1)/(3)


\\ \sf\longmapsto r=(45)/(135)=(1)/(3)

It's a decreasing Geometric sequence

Answer:

Decreasing Geometric Sequence

Explanation:

A geometric sequence is a sequence of non-zero numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed value. Here, we can multiply by 1/3 each time to get the next number, and out sequence is decreasing, so we have a DGS
