Answer:

the 8th term is 0.148148148148...

Explanation:

-108÷(-324)=0.333333333333 = 1/3

(-36)÷(-108)=0.333333333333

(-12)÷(-36)=0.333333333333

then the common ratio of the sequence is 1/3

then

the 5th term is 12×(1÷3) = 4

the 6th term is 4×(1÷3) = 1.333333333333

the 7th term is 1.333333333333×(1÷3) = 0.444444444444

the 8th term is 0.444444444444×(1÷3) = 0.148148148148
