Answer: -0.67, 0.22, -0.074

Explanation:

This is a geometric sequence because it has a common ratio. The common ratio is divide by -3.

18 / -6 = -3

-6 / 2 = -3

Therefore, we'd continue that ratio.

2 / -3 = -0.67

-0.67 / -3 = 0.22

0.22 / -3 = -0.074

It may ask you to write that in fraction form^^

In that case, 2/-3, then 2/-3 / -3, etc etc. :)
