Answer

The given list of numbers 16,13,23,...\dfrac{1}{6}, \dfrac{1}{3}, \dfrac{2}{3}, … is a G.P. with first term a = 16\dfrac{1}{6} and common ratio = r = 2.

By formula, an = arn - 1

∴ a4 = 16(2)3=86=43.\dfrac{1}{6}(2)^3 = \dfrac{8}{6} = \dfrac{4}{3}.

Hence, the next term of the G.P. is 43\dfrac{4}{3}.
