Help pattern 0.88 , 0.84 , 0.82 what is the next two numbers that follow
you added -.04, then -.02
so, one pattern wold be to keep increasing the amount subtracted: .00, .02, .04, ...
or, keep halving the amount added -.01, -.005, ...
two or three points leave it pretty wide open for devising a pattern which fits.
88- 84 = 4 down 4
84 - 82 = 2 down 2
82 - 81 = 1 down 1
81 - 80.5= .5 down 1/2
so maybe 0.81 and 0.805 ?
To identify the pattern in a series of numbers, it is important to observe the relationship between the given numbers. In this case, it appears that the numbers are decreasing. Let's analyze the pattern:
0.88, 0.84, 0.82
Looking at the pattern, we can see that each number is 0.04 less than the previous number. Therefore, to find the next number, we subtract 0.04 from the previous number:
0.82 - 0.04 = 0.78
So, the next number in the pattern would be 0.78.
To find the second number that follows the pattern, we need to repeat the same process. Subtract 0.04 from the newly found number:
0.78 - 0.04 = 0.74
Therefore, the second number following the pattern would be 0.74.
In summary, the next two numbers that follow the pattern are 0.78 and 0.74.
