Question

What are the next four numbers in the pattern below? ¼, ¾, 1 ¼, 1 ¾...

Answer 1

Answer:
`2(1)/(4) , 2(3)/(4) , 3(1)/(4) , 3(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

This series is in arithmetic progression, where all the elements in this series increase progressively. They have a common difference. You can find the common difference by substracting any term by its preceding term as:

d = t(n+1) - t(n)

In this case:

`(3)/(4) - (1)/(4) = (1)/(2)`

You can use the cd. to find the remaining elements by adding the difference to the 4th term to find the 5th term, and adding it to 5th term to get the 6th term and so on.
