Help With my homework? I'm doing problems that have to do with patterns and sequences.....?

Question

Ok, So here is the Directions for the problems I'm doing.

Find a pattern for each sequence. Use the pattern to show the next two terms...

1. Martha, Abigail, Martha, Dolley,...

2.81, 27, 9, 3, ....

I forgot to put these two on my other question....

Answer 1

I'm not sure about #1 but for #2 you divide each number by 3.  

81 divided by 3 = 27

27/3=9

9/3=3

3/3=1

1/3=.33

So the next two numbers would be 1 and .33.  

Hope this helps.  

Answer 2

1.  Martha

2.  1
