Answer: The first four terms are 33/4, 63/8, 15/2, and 57/8.
Step-by-step explanation: To make it easier, turn 8 1/4 into an improper fraction: 33/4. 33/4=66/8. Because the denominator is the same, it’s easier to subtract.
66/8 - 3/8 = 63/8
63/8 - 3/8 = 60/8
60/8 - 3/8 = 57/8
The first 4 terms in the sequence are 66/8, 63/8, 60/8, and 57/8. But we’re not done b/c we need to simplify. That means the first four terms are 33/4, 63/8, 15/2, and 57/8.
