Question

40, 20, 10, 5, Investigate how the pattern progresses to the next term(s)
​

Answer 1

Divided by 2; next terms would be 2.5 and then 1.25

Explanation:

It keeps dividing by 2.

40 / 2 = 20

20 / 2 = 10

10 / 2 = 5

So the next term would be:

5 / 2 = 2.5 =
`2(1)/(2)`

Then it would be 2
`(1)/(2)` / 2 = 1
`(1)/(4)`
