Question

what number completes the pattern? enter your answer.
0 0.4 0.8 1.2 1.6 ?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the pattern

The sequence is \(0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, ?\). Let's check the difference between consecutive terms. \(0.4 - 0 = 0.4\), \(0.8 - 0.4 = 0.4\), \(1.2 - 0.8 = 0.4\), \(1.6 - 1.2 = 0.4\). So the common difference is \(0.4\).

Step2: Calculate the next term

To find the next term, add the common difference (\(0.4\)) to the last given term (\(1.6\)). So \(1.6 + 0.4 = 2.0\).

Answer:

\(2.0\)
