Answer:
1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Note there is a common ratio between consecutive terms, that is
768 ÷ 1536 = 0.5
384 ÷ 768 = 0.5
192 ÷ 384 = 0.5
96 ÷ 192 = 0.5
This indicates that the terms form a geometric sequence with
= a
where a is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a = 1536 and r = 0.5, thus
= 1536 ×
= 1.5
