Answer 1

   16   8   4    2     1    .5      .25    

    \/   \/   \/    \/    \/    \/        \/        

32  48   56  60  62  63  - 63.5  63.75

the pattern is the numbers are divided in half

yay math ,  

Answer 2

63.5 and 63.75 you add half of what you added the time before

Answer 3

63.5

32 +16 -> 48 + 8 -> 56 + 4 -> 60 + 2 -> 62 + 1 -> 63 + .5  -> 63.5

what it increases by halves each time

Answer 4

well the first one you add 16 and the second one you add 8 and the next one you add 4 and the next one you add 2 and the next one you add 1...soooo you are just cutting it in half everytime!!! sooo just add .5 to 63 and and .25 to that answer

Answer 5

If you look at the differences between consecutive numbers, you get

16

8

4

2

1

These are:

2^4

2^3

2^2

2^1

2^0

The next two differences should be:

2^-1  and 2 ^ -2, which are equal to 1/2 and 1/4 respectively.

So after 63, you get 63+1/2 = 63.5   <<<<<

and then,

63 + 1/2 + 1/4 = 63 3/4 = 63.75   <<<<<

Answer 6

look at it this way... you added 16 to the first term, 8 to the second term, 4 to the third term, 2 to the fourth term, 1 to the fifth term, so you have to add 1/2 to the sixth term and 1/4 to the seventh term....

hope that helps!:D

Answer 7

the difference between numbers doubles from right to left

like 62 and 63 has 1; 62 and 60 has 2; 60 and 56 has 4.

so the term should be 63.5 and 63.75

i guess

Answer 8

answer are 63.5 and 63.75 because between 32 and 48 are 16 spaces and between 56 and 48 are 8 spaces and between 60 and 56 are 4 spaces... so on so forth so then its the difference divided by 2 each time... then added to the last digit
