Answer:

2, 0.2, 0.02

The first number is 2000. The term to term rule is 'divide by 10'.

Explanation:

To calculate the next term, divide the previous term by 10:

2000 ÷ 10 = 200

200 ÷ 10 = 20

Therefore, the next three terms will be:

20 ÷ 10 = 2

2 ÷ 10 = 0.2

2 ÷ 10 = 0.02

Term to term rule

To work out the term to term rule, give the initial number of the sequence and then describe the pattern:

The first number is 2000. The term to term rule is 'divide by 10'.
