Answer:

The common difference is 1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is linear. This means that it is an arithmetic sequence. In an arithmetic sequence, each successive term differ by a common difference. The given set of numbers is

1/4, 5/16, 3/8,....

The second term - the first term = the third term - the second term

The common difference would be

5/16 - 1/4 = 3/8 - 5/16 = 1/16

Answer:

$6 \frac{1}{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Write down the problem;

$2 \frac{4}{7} + 3 \frac{2}{4}$

Simplify

$2 \frac{4}{7} + 3 \frac{1}{2}$

Convert so that the fractions have a common denominator; multiply the numerator and denominator of both fractions such that the denominators are equal;

$2 \frac{8}{14} + 3 \frac{7}{14}$
