Question
Describe the pattern in the numbers. Write the next number in the pattern.
1, 3/4 , 1/2 , 1/4 , …
Hint:
A sequence of numbers which has a common difference between any two consecutive numbers is called an arithmetic progression (A.P.). The arithmetic progression general form is given by a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, . . .. Hence, the formula to find the nth term is:
an = a + (n – 1) × d
The correct answer is: 1, 3/4 , 1/2 , 1/4 , 0…
We have given the pattern of numbers
1, 3/4 , 1/2 , 1/4 , …
We have to find the next number.
We will first convert the pattern into decimal numbers
1,0.75,0.5,0.25…
We can see clearly that it is an Arithmetic progression
With
Common difference = 0.75 – 1 = - 0.25
= 0.50 – 0.75 = -0.25
= 0.25 – 0.50 = -0.25
Therefore next term will be
0.25 + Common difference
0.25 – 0.25 = 0
Therefore, the pattern will be
1,0.75,0.5,0.25 , 0 ..
1, 3/4 , 1/2 , 1/4 , 0…
We have to find the next number.
We will first convert the pattern into decimal numbers
We can see clearly that it is an Arithmetic progression
With
Common difference = 0.75 – 1 = - 0.25
Therefore next term will be
Therefore, the pattern will be
