answer:
128
step-by-step explanation:
1. recognize how we get to each number in the pattern
to get from 2 to 8 we can either add 6 or multiply by 4
2. lets see if either of those match up with the rest of the numbers in the pattern
0.125 + 6 = 6.125
our next value is .5 not 6.125
0.125 × 4 = .5
that works! so lets see if it works with the rest of our pattern -
0.5 × 4 = 2
it works! so our pattern is multiplying each value by 4
3. use our pattern on the value of 8
8 × 4 = 32
32 is our 5th value but we are looking for our 6th value
4. use on pattern on the 5th value (32)
32 × 4 = 128
