1.5 + 0.8 = 2.3,
2.3 + 0.8 = 3.1,
3.1 + 0.8 = 3.9,
3.9 + 0.8 = 4.7.

2.3-1.5 = 0.8.
3.1-2.3 = 0.8.
3.9-3.1 = 0.8.
4.7-3.9 = 0.8.

2.3-1.5 = 0.8.
3.1-2.3 = 0.8.
3.9-3.1 = 0.8.
4.7-3.9 = 0.8.

1.5, 2.3, 3.1, 3.9,.... Multiply this number by 10 15 23 31 39 ....

Take their difference which is 8
Then 39+8=47
Now divide it by 10 which gives answer 4.7.

1.5+.8=2.3
2.3+.8=3.1
3.1+.8=3.9
3.9+.8=4.7 the difference is only no.8.so we can add 8 to the previous number.

It's a simple A.P with common difference .8.

So just add .8 to 3.9.
You get the answer 4.7.

2.3-1.5 = 0.8
3.1-2.3 = 0.8
3.9-3.1 = 0.8 (Just tell me about how acquire 4.7 this solution ) just addition 3.9+0.8 = 4.7
4.7-3.9 = 0.8.
