Question 846929: Need help with patterns and sequences
Problem:
32, 16/3, 8/9, 4/27, ___, ___, ____
My attempt:
32, 16/3, 8/9, 4/27, 2/81, 1/243, 0.5/729
Am I correct? I'm not sure about the last sequence. Please help. Answer by Edwin McCravy(20060) (Show Source):
Yes, you are correct, but that last term of the sequence
should be simplified so that the numerator
will be an integer. 0.5 needs to be multiplied by 2 to
get the integer 1. So multiply the term by
Written that way, you can't see how it fits the pattern
anymore, but it does, and is the correct 7th term.
