Answer:

7/4, 9/4, 11/4, 13/4

Explanation:

+ In an arithmetic sequence, to find the pattern you must subtract a term from the term after it to find the common difference.

3/4 subtracted from 5/4 is 2/4

1/4 subtracted from 3/4 is 2/4

+ So the common difference is 2/4 (Aka 1/2, but you want to keep the same denominator)

+ Therefore, between each new term, you add 2/4

1/4, 3/4, 5/4, 7/4, 9/4, 11/4, 13/4... and so on
