12.5, 6.25

the sequence is geometric with common ration r =
(1)/(2)

r =
(200)/(400) =
(100)/(200) =
(1)/(2)

to find the next term in the sequence multiply the previous term by
(1)/(2)

25 ×
(1)/(2) = 12.5

12.5 ×
(1)/(2) = 6.25

For this sequence, every number is divided by two. 400/2 = 200, 200/2 = 100, etc.

To find the next two terms, you divide 25/2 = 12.5, then 12.5/2 = 6.25

The next two terms are 12.5 and 6.25
