what is the true pattern for this sequence?

1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125

i don't know how to do this

Um, multiply by 0.5? What do you mean by true pattern?

I believe that it is divide the previous term by 2.

yeah i know that! that is the simple pattern. i need the true pattern!

Its good

To find the pattern in the sequence 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, we can look for a common relationship between consecutive terms.

One way to approach this is to observe the pattern of division between each term. In this sequence, it appears that each term is obtained by dividing the previous term by 2.

To determine this pattern, divide each term by its preceding term:

0.5 ÷ 1 = 0.5
0.25 ÷ 0.5 = 0.5
0.125 ÷ 0.25 = 0.5

As we see, the result is consistently 0.5. This suggests that the pattern in this sequence is that each term is obtained by dividing the previous term by 2.

Therefore, the true pattern for this sequence is dividing each term by 2.
