Question

What is the numerator of the next term in the arithmetic sequence?
1/2 2/2 3/2 4/2 ​

Answer 1

The numerator of the next term in the arithmetic sequence is 5 because 5/2 would be next.

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

The numerator is the value on top, above the denominator. In an arithmetic sequence you are increasing by the same amount each time. In this case, you are increasing by 1/2 each time. 4/2 plus 1/2 is 5/2, so your numerator is 5.
