Answer:

Next term of the sequence is:

1.5

Explanation:

We are given a sequence :

12,6,3,...

We have to find the next term of this sequence

As we can see the successive term is half the preceding term

i.e. in general if A(n) denotes the nth term of the sequence then,

A(n+1)=A(n)/2

We are given the third term=A(3)=3

Fourth term=A(3+1)

=A(3)/2

=3/2

= 1.5

Hence, next term of the sequence is:

1.5
