Hi there! :)
Answer:
Common difference
Next three terms
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Find the common difference by subtracting the previous term from a term. We can use the terms 1/4 and 1/2:
Convert 1/2 into a fraction over 4:
1/2 · 2/2 = 2/4
Find the common difference by subtracting the fractions:
2/4 - 1/4 = 1/4. This is the common difference.
Find the next 3 terms by adding 1/4:
5/4 + 1/4 = 6/4 (Reduce fraction) = 3/2
6/4 + 1/4 = 7/4
7/4 + 1/4 = 8/4 (Reduce fraction)
Therefore, the next 3 terms are 3/2, 7/4 and 2.
