Answer: The correct answer for the next three terms in the pattern of the sequence 4,8,12,16, .. is 20, 24, 28.

Step-by-step explanation: As we can see that every term in the sequence has an addition of 4. Thus continuing in this format we will get ,

16+4=20

20+4=24

24+4=28

Thus, the next three terms are 20, 24, 28.

The answer is:

20, 24, 28

Work/explanation:

To find the pattern, we should find the amount that is added or subtracted each time, to arrive at the next term; this amount is known as the common difference.

In our case, we add 4 each time : 4, 8, 12, 16...

To find the next three terms, we add 4 again:

16 + 4 = 20

Repeat this step two more times:

20 + 4 = 24

24 + 4 = 28

Hence, the next three terms are 20, 24, and 28.
