You did not post the sequence
The sequence is 1, 1 1/8, 1 1/4, 1 3/8...
yes, difference is 1/8 or .125
Remark:
1 1/4 = 1 2/8
___________
1, 1 1/8, 1 1/4, 1 3/8
1 1/8 - 1 = 1/8
1 1/4 - 1 1/8 = 1 2/8 - 1 1/8 = 1/8
1 3/8 - 1 1/4 = 1 3/8 - 1 2/8 = 1/8
Common difference = 1/8
Answer C
1 1/4 = 1 2/8
___________
1, 1 1/8, 1 1/4, 1 3/8
1 1/8 - 1 = 1/8
1 1/4 - 1 1/8 = 1 2/8 - 1 1/8 = 1/8
1 3/8 - 1 1/4 = 1 3/8 - 1 2/8 = 1/8
Common difference = 1/8
Answer C
thank you
