Consider, pls, the suggested solution (all the details are in the attachment).
This is an arithmetic sequence.
The numbers differ by a constant.
The general form of an arithmetic sequence is:
Where
a is first term
n is nth term
d is the common difference
Looking at the sequence, we can say the common difference is -3 [since 3 is subtracted from a term to get the next term]
Also, first term is 13
Now, we plug into formula:
It is about 3.66
In word form it is three and sixty six hundreths
