- The answer is 269.75.
5.5 = 2.2 * 2.5
8 = 5.5 + 2.5
36 = 8 * 4.5
40.5 = 36 + 4.5
263.25 = 40.5 * 6.5
The next number should be: 263.25 + 6.5 = 269.75. - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(1)
- Lets take first two digits
5.5/2.2 = 2.5
add 2.5 + 5.5 = 8
now 36/8= 4.5
4.5+36 = 40.5
263.25/40.5 = 6.5
6.5 + 263.25 = 269.75
Ans : 269.75 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)

263.25 / 40.5 = 6.5
263.25 + 6.5 = 269.75 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- for first three term,( /2, *5, +2.5)
2.2/2=1.1,
1.1*5=5.5
5.5+2.5=8
for next three numbers ( /2, *9(diff of 4), +4.5(diff of 2.5) )
8/2=4
4*9=36
36+4.5=40.5
same pattern follows for last three numbers too( /2, *13, +6.5)
40.5/2=20.25
20.25*13=263.25
263.25+6.5= 269.75 :)
