Find the next term of the sequence: $0.5, 2, 3.5, 5, ..........$
The sequence increases by 1.5 each step: 0.5, 2, 3.5, 5, 6.5.
The sequence follows an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 1.5. This difference of 1.5 is verified by subtracting preceding terms from their succeeding terms: 2 minus 0.5 equals 1.5, 3.5 minus 2 equals 1.5, and 5 minus 3.5 equals 1.5. Adding this common difference of 1.5 to the last given term yields 6.5.
