What would be the next number in pattern 1/324, 1/108, 1/36, 1/12 answers are 1/3, 1/5, 1/4, 1
Accepted Solution
A:
The answer would be 1/4. Each number is increasing by a multiple of 3. 1/324 x 3 = 1/108....1/108 x 3 = 1/36...etc. So 1/12 x 3 = 1/4. Another way to look at it is to ignore the 1/ at the front since that stay consistent and only look at the 2nd part. In that case, each number is decreasing by 1/3.
