To find the next number in the sequence, let's analyze the given numbers.
0.487, 1.267, 2.047, 2.827, 3.607
Looking at the numbers, we can see that each number is getting larger by 0.78 (or 0.78 added to the previous number). This means that to find the next number, we need to add 0.78 to the last number (3.607).
Calculating 3.607 + 0.78, we get 4.387.
Therefore, the next number in the sequence is 4.387.
Out of the given options, the answer is (a) 4.387.
