Question

fill in the missing numbers to complete the pattern:
□, 2.82, □, 3.22, 3.42, 3.62

Explanation:

Step1: Find the common difference

Look at the given numbers: \(3.42 - 3.22 = 0.2\), \(3.62 - 3.42 = 0.2\). So the common difference \(d = 0.2\).

Step2: Find the first missing number

To find the first number (before \(2.82\)), subtract \(0.2\) from \(2.82\): \(2.82 - 0.2 = 2.62\).

Step3: Find the second missing number

To find the number between \(2.82\) and \(3.22\), add \(0.2\) to \(2.82\): \(2.82 + 0.2 = 3.02\).

Answer:

First missing number: \(2.62\), Second missing number: \(3.02\)
