Answer:

It would either be (1.5, 1 1/2, or 3/2) - they are all the same value just written differently.

Explanation:

going from left to right, you can see the pattern of the sequence is to divide each number by 2.

96/2 is 48; 48/2 is 24; 24/2 is 12; 12/2 is 6; 6/2 is 3

taking that knowledge, you would divide 3 by 2, resulting in 1.5 ; 2/3 ; or 1 1/2
