Question

Describe the pattern. Find the next three numbers.

0.04, 0.02, 0.01, 0.005,...
What is the next pattern and what is the pattern?

Answer 1

these are just getting divided by 2

0.0025, 0.00125, 0.000625

Answer 2

Answer:

0.0025

0.00125

0.000625

pattern is next number = previous number multiplied by 1/2

or divided by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

0.04, 0.02, 0.01, 0.005,...

0.02/0.04 = 1/2

0.01/0.02 = 1/2

0.005/0.01 = 1/2

This is an GP  with common ratio = 1/2  

First term = 0.04

pattern is next number = previous number multiplied by 1/2

or divided by 2

next three numbers would be

0.005 / 2  =  0.0025

0.0025 / 2 = 0.00125

0.00125/2 = 0.000625
