Question

Find the next three numbers in the pattern. Then describe the pattern. 1/8, 25%, 0.375, 1/2, 62. 5%, .75

Answer 1

`(7)/(8)`, 100% and 1.125

Explanation:

Here are given a pattern of numbers
`(1)/(8)`, 25%, 0.375,
`(1)/(2)`, 62.5%, 0.75,

Now, we know that 25% =
`(1)/(4) = (2)/(8)`

And, 0.375 =
`(3)/(8)`

And, 62.5% =
`(62.5)/(100) = (5)/(8)`

And, 0.75 =
`(75)/(100) = (3)/(4) = (6)/(8)`

Therefore, the pattern is
`(1)/(8), (2)/(8), (3)/(8), (4)/(8), (5)/(8), (6)/(8)`

Therefore, following this pattern the next three terms are

`(7)/(8), (8)/(8), (9)/(8)`

⇒
`(7)/(8)`, 100% and 1.125 (Answer)
