Notice that each the previous term divided by 5. For example, 375-:5=75,3-:5=3/5=0.6.

To find the next three terms, start with the term where the sequence ended, which was 3/5. Then, divide by 5 three different times.

3/5-:5 is the same thing as 3/5xx1/5, which is 3/25.
The term after that would be 3/25xx1/5=3/125.
Next would be 3/625.
