What is the next number in the sequence: 3, 6, 12, 24, ___?
Answer: 48
Each term is multiplied by 2, so 24 × 2 = 48.
What comes next in the pattern: 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, ___?
Answer: 37
The differences are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 — so the next term is 26 + 11 = 37.
In the pattern 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ___, what is the missing term?
Answer: 36
These are perfect squares (1², 2², 3²...), so the next is 6² = 36.
What fraction of 60 is 15?
Answer: 1/4
15/60 simplifies to 1/4.
Which number does NOT belong: 4, 8, 12, 18, 20, 24?
Answer: 18
All others are multiples of 4, but 18 is not (18 ÷ 4 = 4.5).
What is the missing number: 7, ___, 21, 28, 35?
Answer: 14
This is the 7 times table, so the missing term is 7 × 2 = 14.
