Final answer:
The missing number in the sequence 8, 32, 48 is 64, following the sequence's pattern of multiplying the base number 8 by consecutive even numbers (4, then 6, then 8).
Step-by-step explanation:
The student asked to find the missing number in the sequence 8, 32, 48. To solve this, we may look for a pattern in the given numbers.
A potential pattern could be multiples of 8, where each number is 8 times the next even number. If we continue this pattern, after multiplying by 4 and 6, the next multiplication should be by 8.
Therefore, the missing number in the sequence is:
8 × 8 = 64.
The missing number in the sequence is 64.
