1 to 4 is 3

4 to 8 is 4

8 to 13 is 5

13 to 19 is 6

the next number should be 26

Answer 2

Answer: 26

Explanation:

to solve this series, we should find a pattern first.

if we look at the differences of each number, we can see that

4-1=3

8-4=4

13-8=5

19-13=6

to find the next number in the series, it would be 7 more than 19, since are counting upwards from 3.
