Correct Answer: $\frac{9}{32}$
Solution : The given sequence seems to follow a pattern. The numerator of each fraction increases by 2 and the denominator is a power of 2.
For the next term, following the pattern, the numerator should be 7 + 2 = 9.
The denominator, being powers of 2, should be the next power of 2 after 16, which is 32.
So, the next number in the sequence should be $\frac{9}{32}$.
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{9}{32}$.
