No need think points if there is in problems.
5.2, 4.8, 4.4, 4----? question.
Answer: Just 52, 48, 44....
52-48=4.
48-44=4.
44-40=4.
40-4=36.
So answer is 36.
Just put on points add 0.
5.2-4.8=0.4.
4.8-4.4=0.4.
4.4-4.0=0.4.
4-0.4=3.6.

The formula is each number decreases by 0.4:
5.2 - 0.4 = 4.8
4.8 - 0.4 = 4.4
4.4 - 0.4 = 4
Since 4 - 0.4 = 3.6.
Let 4 into 4.0 - 0.4 =3.6.
Therefore the answer is 3.6.
5.2 - 0.4 = 4.8
4.8 - 0.4 = 4.4
4.4 - 0.4 = 4
Since 4 - 0.4 = 3.6.
Let 4 into 4.0 - 0.4 =3.6.
Therefore the answer is 3.6.

5.2 - 4.8 = 0.4
4.8 - 4.4 = 0.4
4.4 - 4.0 = 0.4
4.0 - x = 0.4
Therefore -x = 0.4 - 4.0
= -(4.0 - 0.4)
= -3.6
=>> x = 3.6
4.8 - 4.4 = 0.4
4.4 - 4.0 = 0.4
4.0 - x = 0.4
Therefore -x = 0.4 - 4.0
= -(4.0 - 0.4)
= -3.6
=>> x = 3.6

The formula is each number decreases by 0.4 :
5.2 - 0.4 = 4.8
4.8 - 0.4 = 4.4
4.4 - 0.4 = 4
Since 4 - 0.4 = 3.6
Therefore the answer is 3.6.
5.2 - 0.4 = 4.8
4.8 - 0.4 = 4.4
4.4 - 0.4 = 4
Since 4 - 0.4 = 3.6
Therefore the answer is 3.6.

@ALL.
Here the logic is, simply subtract 0.4 from each number then you will get the next upcoming number.

The easy way!
The common difference is 0.4,
The last no is 4.
=> 4.(0) - 0.4,
= 3.6
The common difference is 0.4,
The last no is 4.
=> 4.(0) - 0.4,
= 3.6

5.2-4.8 = 0.4.
4.8-4.4 = 0.4.
4.4-4.0 = 0.4.
Now 4.0-0.4 = 3.6, this is Answer
4.8-4.4 = 0.4.
4.4-4.0 = 0.4.
Now 4.0-0.4 = 3.6, this is Answer

0.4 is subtracted from the first no to get the next no.
So our answer is 3.6.
So our answer is 3.6.
