1)  

 Type the missing numbers in this sequence:

Answer: 4042444648 Answer: 50


SOLUTION 1 :
First, look for a pattern. Notice how each number is 2 less than the previous number:
 
__,    42,    44,    46,    48,    __
 
 
To make the pattern complete, the numbers 40 and 50 must go in the blank spaces.


2)  

 Type the next number in this sequence:

2, 3, 6, 11, 18, 27, 38,





Answer: 4


 



SOLUTION 1 :

Find the pattern. Look at how much you add to each number to get the next number: 




2, 3, 6, 11, 18, 27, 38,
                     
    + 1   + 3   + 5   + 7   + 9   + 11    






The amount you add increases by 2 each time. You should add 13 the next time. Add 13 to 38 to find the next number: 




2, 3, 6, 11, 18, 27, 38, 51
                     
    + 1   + 3   + 5   + 7   + 9   + 11   + 13






The next number is 51. 



3)  

 Type the missing number in this sequence:

4, 8, 16, 32, Answer: 64


SOLUTION 1 :

First, look for a pattern. Notice how each number is 2 times the previous number: 

4,    8,    16,    32,    __



Multiply 32 by 2 to find the missing number:

32 × 2 = 64



To make the pattern complete, the number 64 must go in the blank space.



4)  

 Type the next number in this sequence:

0,    0,    2,    6,    12,   Answer: 20


SOLUTION 1 :

Find the pattern. Look at how much you add to each number to get the next number: 

0,0,2,6,12,
           
  + 0 + 2 + 4 + 6  



The amount you add increases by 2 each time. You should add 8 the next time. Add 8 to 12 to find the next number: 

0,0,2,6,12,20
           
  + 0 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 8



The next number is 20.



5)  

 Type the missing numbers in this sequence:

34363840 Answer: 42


SOLUTION 1 :
First, look for a pattern. Notice how each number is 2 less than the previous number:
 
 34,    36,    38,    40,    __
 
 
To make the pattern complete, the numbers 42 must go in the blank spaces.


6)
