    To solve for geometric sequences, use the formula an = a1r^ (n - 1), where a1 = first term, n = position number of given term, r = common ratio, and an = value of term in given position.

    For this problem, a1 = 2, n = 6, and r = 1/3. Now, plug those values into the equation and solve.

    a6 = 2 (1/3) ^ (6 - 1)

    a6 = 2 (1/3) ^ (5)

    a6 = 2 (0.00411522633)

    a6 = 0.00823045267

    I hope this answers your question.
