  1. Multiplied by 6 (same number so that the results are integer)

    4 5/6 x 6 = 29

    6 1/6 x 6 = 37

    7 1/2 x 6 = 45

    8 5/6 x 6 = 53

    Find the difference

    37 - 29 = 8

    .........

    each number is the sum of the number before and 8/6 (divide the difference)

    10 1/6, 11 1/2, 12 5/6


  2. difference between each number is 8/6

    so, the next 3 numbers should be 10 1/6, 11 1/2, 12 5/6


  3. subtract 7 1/2 from 8 5/6 and add it to 8 5/6.  Your numbers are increasing by 1 1/3.  

    Your answer would be 10 1/6
