Answer:

The answer is 3.4

Explanation:

The sequence above is an arithmetic sequence

So in order to find the common difference subtract the previous term from the next term

So we have

Taking 9.4 and 6

That's

9.4 - 6 = 3.4

Taking 12.8 and 9.4

12.8 - 9.4 = 3.4

Taking 16.2 and 12.8

16.2 - 12.8 = 3.4

Since the common difference is the same for any of the terms taken , the common difference is 3.4

Hope this helps you
