indeed darling
just multiply them by 0.1
0.1 * 0.1 = 0.01
0.01 * 0.1 =0.001
0.001 * 0.1 = 0.0001
0.0001 * 0.1 = 0.00001
so we have :
0.1, 0.01, 0.001 , 0.0001, ....

Another way to think about this series is:
first term in series: 1/10
second term : 1/100
third term : 1/1000
fourth term : 1/10000
.....
the nth term: 1/(10)^n
Good luck.

The numbers are being multiplied by 0.1. The next number in the sequence is 0.0001.

.1, .01, .001, .0001, .00001, so on and so forth. It's multiplying by 10, or in simpler terms, its adding a zero before the one each time.

10^(-n)
10^-1 = .1
10^-2 = .01
10^-3 = .001
10^-4 = .0001
10^-5 = .00001

you divide it by 10 each time. which causes the decimal point to shift over the right, causing your next series of answers to be 0.0001,0.00001,........
