Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometric formula is [tex]a_{n} =a_{1} * r^{n-1}[/tex] where a1 is the first term and [tex]a_{n}[/tex] is the term at the nth position and r is the ratio.
Since 48 is the first term and 243/26 is the fifth term, we get the equation
[tex]\frac{243}{16} = 48*r^{5-1}[/tex]
thus r = 0.75
thus the three missing terms are 36, 27, 81/4
