Question

the sequence of the numbers below is missing an eighth value. which of the following is the missing value? sequence: 5, 6, 8, 11, 15, 20, 26, __, 41

Answer 1

D - 33

Explanation:

From 5 to 6, the number is increasing by 1. Then from 6 to 8, it increases by 2. From 8 to 11 it increases by 3. This pattern continues throughout the entire sequence. Since between 20 and 26, it increases by 6, 26+7 should equal the number between 26 and 41. This number would be 33.
