A Correct answer
Explanation

The sequence is 72, 65.7, ?, 53.1, 46.8. The difference between 72 and 65.7 is 6.3. The difference between 53.1 and 46.8 is 6.3. Assuming a constant difference of 6.3, the missing term is 65.7 - 6.3 = 59.4. Checking: 59.4 - 6.3 = 53.1, which matches.

AI explanation

The series follows a consistent subtraction pattern of 6.3 between consecutive terms. Subtracting 6.3 from 65.7 gives the missing term as 59.4. We can verify this because subtracting 6.3 from 59.4 results in 53.1, which perfectly matches the next term in the sequence.
