a  = 8,   a2 = 12,    a3 = 18,    a4 = 27,...
12 = r · 8       ⇒   r = 12 : 8 = 1.5
 r = 1.5.  We can justify it:
 18 = 8 · 1.5² = 8 · 2.25    ( true )
 27 = 8 · 1.5³ =  8 · 3.375 ( true ) 

Answer:

a  = 8,   a2 = 12,    a3 = 18,    a4 = 27,...

12 = r · 8       ⇒   r = 12 : 8 = 1.5

r = 1.5.  We can justify it:

18 = 8 · 1.5² = 8 · 2.25    ( true )

27 = 8 · 1.5³ =  8 · 3.375 ( true )
