Verified Answer :

320, 160, 80, 40, 20, 10, 5
Let's start from the right and go left
5 x 2 = 10
10 x 2 = 20
20 x 2 = 40
40 x 2 = 80
80 x 2 = 160
160 x 2 = 320
All of this is being multiplied by two, but now, let's go from left to right
320/2 = 160
160/2 = 80
80/2 = 40
40/2 = 20
20/2 = 10
10/2 = 5
All of this is being divided by 2
Divided by 2 is the pattern

Answer:

320, 160, 80, 40, 20, 10, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

320, 160, 80, 40, ___, ___, ___,

To find out the pattern we look at the number how they are decreasing

first number is 320 and second number is 160

\(\frac{160}{320} = \frac{1}{2}\)

\(\frac{80}{160} = \frac{1}{2}\)

\(\frac{40}{80} = \frac{1}{2}\)

Common ratio is 1/2

To get next term we multiply by 1/2

\(40 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 20\)

\(20 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 10\)

\(10 \cdot \frac{1}{2} =5\)

Next three terms are 20,10 and 5
