We are asked to determine the term between the 8th and 10th terms of the geometric sequence. To do that we need to have into account that in a geometric sequence the term between two given terms is equivalent to the geometric mean of the two terms. The geometric terms between the two terms is given by:


G_m=\sqrt[]{a_1a_2}

Replacing the values:


\begin{gathered} G_m=\sqrt[]{(64)(0.25)}_{} \\ G_m=\sqrt[]{16} \\ G_m=4 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the 9th term is 4.
