Question

What is the next number in the pattern?

9 4 7
—, —, — . . .
10 5 10

Answer 1

Answer:

3/5

The nth term of an AP = a + d(n -1)

By the looks of it, the next term in the sequence is the 4th term.

a = 9/10

d = 4/5 - 9/10 = -1/10

9/10 - 1/10(4 - 1) = 9/10 - 1/10(3)

9/10 - 3/10 = 6/10

3/5
