1. <em>I'm assuming you meant to type 0.2, 0.6, 1, 1.4...</em>
In that case, it is increasing by 0.4, so the next three would be:
0.2 + (4-1)(0.4) = 1.8...
=> 1.8, 2.2, 2.6.
2. Here it's reducing by 0.25, so start with:
4 + (5-1)(-0.25) = 3...
=> 3, 2.75, 2.5
1.
25%
.3 + .2 + .15 + .1 = .75
1.00 - .75 = .25
2.
120 students
There are 400 total students
.3 * 400 = 120
4.
tennis-
.1 * 400 = 40 students prefer tennis
football-
.25 * 400 = 100 students prefer football
140 students like football/tennis
5.
400 students
There are four quarters in a whole
.25% = 100
100 * 4 = 400
