Final answer:
The next two numbers in the pattern 1250, -250, 50 are found by multiplying each number by -0.25. Following this pattern, the next numbers are 62.5 and -12.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has provided a numerical sequence and is looking to find the next two numbers in this pattern: 1250, -250, 50. It appears that each number is –¼ of the previous number. To find the next two numbers in the sequence, we continue this pattern.
- Multiply -250 by -0.25 to get the next number: -250 × -0.25 = 62.5.
- Multiply 50 by -0.25 to get the following number: 50 × -0.25 = -12.5.
Therefore, the next two numbers in the pattern are 62.5 and -12.5.
