If the nth term is Tn, the ratios of consecutive terms are Tn+1/Tn for n = 1, 2, 3, ...
This will be a constant only for geometric sequences.

The limit of the ratio is the Golden ratio, or [1 + sqrt(5)]/2
The "golden ratio" is the limit of the ratio between consecutive terms of the Fibonacci series. That means that when you take two consecutive terms out of your Fibonacci series and divide them, the quotient is near the golden ratio, and the longer the piece of the Fibonacci series is that you use, the nearer the quotient is. The Fibonacci series has the property that it converges quickly, so even if you only look at the quotient of, say, the 9th and 10th terms, you're already going to be darn close. The exact value of the golden ratio is [1 + sqrt(5)]/2
I have my math final tomorrow and I don't remember the quick method to finding the r value when they are not consecutive terms, please help me. n1=1/81, n3=1/3
No. It can be but need not be. For example, you might calculate the ratio of today's temperature in Celsius and in Fahrenheit and calculate the ratio. That is not a rate.
