Anne,

Observe that the sequence is decreasing by 1 1/4 each time. 

so

7 1/2 - 1 1/4 = 6 1/4

and

6 1/4 - 1 1/4 = 5

therefore next in the sequence is

5 - 1 1/4 = ? 

and so on and so on!

Hope that helps!

The only thing I might have added was the next two or three answers in the sequence:

7.5, 6.25, 5, 3.75, 2.5, 1.25, ...
