Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio of a geometric sequence is the number that is multiplied to get the next term in the sequence.

We can see that the numbers decrease:

32, 8, 2, 1/2, ...

To get from 32 to 8, we would divide by 4.  Dividing is the same as multiplying by a fraction; this means that dividing by 4 is the same as multiplying by 1/4.  Thus 1/4 is the common ratio.
