Answer:

8, 16/3

Explanation:

You want the 4th and 5th terms of a geometric sequence that starts 27, 18, 12, ....

Ratio

The common ratio for this geometric sequence is 18/27 = 2/3.

The next term can be found by multiplying the last term by this ratio:

12(2/3) = 8

And again, ...

8(2/3) = 16/3

The next two terms are 8 and 16/3.
