The common ratio is 1/2.

Given that

The sequence 200, 100, 50, 25.

How to find the common ratio?

The common ratio is determined by dividing the second term by the first term.

[tex]\rm Common \ ratio = \dfrac{Second \ Term }{First \ Term}[/tex]

Here, the second term is 100 and the first term is 200.

Then,

The common ratio is;

[tex]\rm Common \ ratio = \dfrac{Second \ Term }{First \ Term}\\\\\rm Common \ ratio = \dfrac{100}{200}[/tex]

[tex]\rm Common \ ratio = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

The common ratio between third term 50 and second term 100 is;

[tex]\rm Common \ ratio = \dfrac{Second \ Term }{First \ Term}\\\\\rm Common \ ratio = \dfrac{50}{100}\\\\\rm Common \ ratio = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Hence, the common ratio is 1/2.
