Answer:

1/64

Explanation:

Notice that the common ratio is 1/4 since each term is being multiplied by 1/4 to get its successor's result.

Therefore, the 4th term would be 1 * 1/4 = 1/4, the 5th term would be 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16, and the 6th term would be 1/16 * 1/4 = 1/64.

So, the 6th term of the geometric sequence is 1/64
