What is the next number in the sequence? 20.48, 12.8, 8, 5,________

the common ratio is 5/8 for the given sequence.

Would you like to suggest the next number?

To find the next number in the sequence, let's analyze the pattern. By comparing each consecutive number, we notice that each number is decreasing by a factor of 1.6.

Starting from 20.48, if we divide it by 1.6, we get 12.8. If we divide 12.8 by 1.6, we get 8. Continuing this pattern, if we divide 8 by 1.6, we get 5.

Therefore, the next number in the sequence would be 5 divided by 1.6, which is approximately 3.125.

So, the next number in the sequence is 3.125.
