ANSWER:

19/32

Explanation:

We have the following sequence:


(7)/(32),\:(10)/(32),\:(13)/(32),\:(16)/(32),\:...

We calculate the common difference:


\begin{gathered} d=(16)/(32)-(13)/(32)=(3)/(32) \\ \\ d=(13)/(32)-(10)/(32)=(3)/(32) \\ \\ d=(10)/(32)-(7)/(32)=(3)/(32) \\ \\ \text{ Therefore, the following term would be:} \\ \\ t=(16)/(32)+(3)/(32)=(19)/(32) \end{gathered}

The correct answer is 19/32
