Question
Look at this series: 2, 1, (1/2), (1/4), ... What number should come next?(1/3)(1/8)(2/8)(1/16)
Solution
The pattern in this series is that each number is half of the previous number.
Starting with 2, the next number is 1 (which is 2 divided by 2), then 1/2 (which is 1 divided by 2), then 1/4 (which is 1/2 divided by 2).
So, to find the next number, we should divide the last number (1/4) by 2.
1/4 divided by 2 equals 1/8.
So, the next number in the series should be 1/8.
