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.

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.
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.

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
