The answer is: " 312.5 " . _________________________________________________ <u>Note</u>: In the pattern given, each number is multipled by "5" to get to the number consecutive number. __________________________________________________ The pattern given is: __________________________________________________ " 0.5, 2.5, 12.5, 62.5, ____, ....." ;
Note: The first number in the pattern given is: "0.5" .
"0.5 * 5 = 2.5" ; and "2.5" is the second number in the pattern.
"2.5 * 5 = 12.5" ; and "12.5" is the third number in the pattern.
"12.5 * 5 = 62.5" ; and "62.5" is the fourth number (and final number SHOWN in the pattern).
To find the next number, we multiply "62.5" by "5" ; to get: "312.5" . _______________________________________________________
