Answer:

4.5 and 5.5

Explanation:

there is a common difference between consecutive terms in the sequence, that is

1.5 - 0.5 = 2.5 - 1.5 = 1

thus to obtain the next term in the sequence add 1 to the preceding term

a₄ = a₃ + 1 = 2.5 + 1 = 3.5

a₅ = a₄ + 1 = 3.5 + 1 = 4.5

a₆ = a₅ + 1 = 4.5 + 1 = 5.5

the 5th and 6th terms are 4.5 and 5.5 respectively
