Consider the following series: 2, 1, (1/2), (1/4),... What should be the next number?
A. (1/3) B. (1/8) C. (2/8) D. (1/16)
Explanation: Each number is one-half of the previous number in this division series. To put it another way, the number is divided by two to reach the next result. 2 = 4/2, 2 + 2 Equals 1,1/2 equals 1/2,1/4 = (1/2)/2,1/8 = (1/4)/2, and so on.
