    Answer:the next three terms are - 1/4,-5/8,-1

    Step-by-step explanation:

    7/8,1/2,1/8

    The common difference=1/2-7/8 or 1/8-1/2

    Common difference=1/8-1/2 = (1-4) / 8=-3/8

    4th term=3rd term + common difference

    4th term=1/8 + (-3/8)

    4th term=1/8-3/8 = (1-3) / 8=-2/8=-1/4

    5th term=4th term+common difference

    5th term = -1/4 + (-3/8)

    5th term=-1/4-3/8

    5th term = (-2-3) / 8=-5/8

    6th term=5th term + common difference

    6th term=-5/8 + (-3/8)

    6th term=-5/8-3/8

    6th term = (-5-3) / 8=-8/8=-1
