What fraction should be next in this sequence? 1/12 , 3/12 , 5/12 ,

Answer 1

The next term would be 7/12 because it's going by 2 or 1/6. For example if you add 1/12 plus 2 it would give you 3/12 than add 2 again to 3/12, you'll get 5/12.

Another way to do it....

3/12 - 1/12 = 1/6

D= 1/6

a1(First term) = 1/12

a(n)= Terms or first, second, third, etc. or 1, 2, 3...

Formula= n -1/6

1/12+ 2-1/6 = 3/12

looking for the 4th term

a(4)

1/12+ 4 -1/6 = 7/12

Answer = 7/12

Answer 2

Hi Aleice,

In this sequence of fractions, they are adding 2/12 to each fraction.

1/12 + 2/12 = 3/12

3/12 +2/12 = 5/12

5/12 + 2/12 = 7/12

The next fraction would be 7/12
