53->5+3 = 8.
40->4+0 = 4.
27->2+7 = 9.
8-4 = 4,4+5 = 9, 9-4 = 5. Therefore Ans is 14-> 1 = 4 = 5.
40->4+0 = 4.
27->2+7 = 9.
8-4 = 4,4+5 = 9, 9-4 = 5. Therefore Ans is 14-> 1 = 4 = 5.

6,3,3,4.5,9,22.5 . . .?
The first value i.e 6 is multiplied by 0.5 to get the next number i.e. 3, now to get the next number after this 3 is multiplied by (0.5+0.5=1) to have the third number 3, and in a similar fashion it is multiplied by (0.5+0.5+0.5=1.5) to have the next number i.e. 3*1.5=4.5 and then 4.5 is multiplied by (0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5=2) to get 9 and finally now 9 is multiplied by (0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5=2.5) to get 22.5; now if you people look at the whole process, it is clear that the number which we multiplied to get the next number is increasing by 0.5,
So we must multiply (0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5=3) with 22.5 to get the next number which is 67.5
