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.

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.

4*1.1 = 4.4.
4*1.0 = 4.
4*0.9 = 3.6.
4*1.2 = 4.8.
4*1.1 = 4.4.
4*1.0 = 4.
4*0.9 = 3.6.
