What numbers should replace the question marks in the sequence?
Correct answer: 2, 1.25
Explanation:
The sequence is 9.5, 7.5, 5.75, 4.25, 3, ?, ?.
Look at the differences between the numbers:
9.5 - 7.5 = 2
7.5 - 5.75 = 1.75
5.75 - 4.25 = 1.5
4.25 - 3 = 1.25
The numbers being subtracted are:
2, 1.75, 1.5, 1.25
These decrease by 0.25 each time.
So the next numbers to subtract are:
1 and 0.75
Continue the sequence:
3 - 1 = 2
2 - 0.75 = 1.25
Therefore, the missing numbers are 2 and 1.25.
