Question

25. Each term in this sequence is more than the previous term. What are the next four terms in the sequence? 1/16, ⅛, 3/16, ¼, _, _, _, _,...​

Answer 1

The sequence has a common difference of 1/16, which means to get the next term, we need to add 1/16 to the previous term.

The next four terms would be:

9/32 (1/4 - 1/16)

5/16 (1/4 + 1/16)

11/32 (5/16 + 1/16)

3/8 (11/32 + 1/16)

So the full sequence is: 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 9/32, 5/16, 11/32, 3/8, ...

Answer 2

5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2

All you sre doing is adding 1/16 to each term then reducing it.

1/16 + 1/16 = 2/16

2/16 = 1/8

2/16 + 1/16 = 3/16

etc.

heres the simplest explanation:

all they are doing is counting and reducing

Reduce

1/16. 1/16

2/16. 1/8

3/16. 3/16

4/16. 1/4

5/16. 5/16

6/16. 3/8

7/16. 7/16

8/16. 1/2
