Final answer:

The missing numbers in the sequence 3, 6, __, 24, __, 96, 192 are 12 and 48, which follow the pattern of each number being multiplied by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking to identify the missing numbers in the number pattern 3, 6, __, 24, __, 96, 192. To solve this, observe the pattern and identify the rule that governs the sequence. Starting with the first number, the pattern seems to multiply each number by 2 to get the next number in the sequence: 3 x 2 = 6, 6 x 2 = 12, and so on.

Therefore, the number that comes after 6 is 12 (6 x 2), and the next missing number after 24 should be 48 (24 x 2). Hence, the complete sequence is 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192.The pattern seems to be doubling the previous number each time. So, in the missing spots, the numbers should be double of the previous number.Applying this pattern, we can fill in the blanks as follows:3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192.
