What is the next term in the pattern? 3, 6, 9, 12, _________ What is the next term in the pattern? 48, 24, 12, 6, ________ What is the next term in the pattern? 72, 62, 52, 42, _________

Answer 1

15 should go in the first gap, as the numbers all go up in 3s.

3 should go in the second gap, as the numbers divide by 2.

32 should go in the third gap, as the numbers all take 10 away from the previous.

Hope this helps :D

Answer 2

The next in the first pattern is 15.

The next in the second pattern would be 3.

The next in the third pattern would be 32.

Explanation:

In the first pattern, you can notice that the terms keep going up by 3. As a result, the next one is 3 higher (12 + 3 = 15)

In the second pattern, the next number is always half of the number before it. (6 * 1/2 = 3)

The last pattern shows each number being 10 less than the one before it. (42 - 10 = 32)
