Decide what number should be used in place of the question mark.
Answer: 12
The most common pattern for such a sequence to result in 12 is an arithmetic progression of even numbers. For example, if the sequence was 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, the next number would be 12. Each term increases by 2 from the previous one.
Decide what number should be used in place of the question mark.
Answer: 26
In this number sequence, the differences between consecutive terms follow a pattern. If the sequence were 2, 4, 8, 13, 19, the differences are +2, +4, +5, +6. The next difference would be +7, making the next term 19 + 7 = 26. The pattern in the differences is 2, 4, 5, 6, 7.
Decide what number should be used in place of the question mark. 32, 16, 20, 10, 14, 7, ?
Answer: 11
This sequence follows an alternating pattern of operations. The first operation is division by 2, and the second is addition of 4. So, 32 / 2 = 16, 16 + 4 = 20, 20 / 2 = 10, 10 + 4 = 14, 14 / 2 = 7. Following this pattern, the next operation is addition of 4, so 7 + 4 = 11.
Decide what number should be used in place of the question mark. 1, 3, 12, 60, 360, ?
Answer: 2520
This is a multiplicative sequence where the multiplier increases by one each time. Starting with 1, the sequence is generated by multiplying the previous number by 3, then 4, then 5, and so on. So, 1 * 3 = 3, 3 * 4 = 12, 12 * 5 = 60, 60 * 6 = 360. The next step is 360 * 7, which equals 2520.
Decide what number should be used in place of the question mark.
Answer: 30
Assuming a simple arithmetic progression, if the sequence was 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, the pattern is to add 5 to the previous number. Therefore, the next number in the sequence would be 25 + 5 = 30. This is a common and straightforward type of number sequence.
Decide what number should be used in place of the question mark.
Answer: 16
A common pattern for such a sequence to result in 16 is a geometric progression where each term is double the previous one. For example, if the sequence was 1, 2, 4, 8, the next number would be 16. Alternatively, an arithmetic progression like 4, 8, 12, would also lead to 16 by adding 4 each time.
Decide what number should be used in place of the question mark. 15, 30, 45, 90, 135, 270, ?
Answer: 405
This sequence follows a repeating pattern of operations. It alternates between multiplying by 2 and adding a specific value. The pattern is: multiply by 2, then add the number that was the first term of the previous pair (e.g., 15, 45, 135). So, 15*2=30, 30+15=45, 45*2=90, 90+45=135, 135*2=270. The final step is 270 + 135 = 405.
