Question

Write what comes next in the pattern

1.2,2,4,4.8,9.6??

Answer 1

Ok so I believe it’s 10.4 because first it’s

1.2 + 0.8 = 2
2 * 2 = 4
4 + 0.8 = 4.8
4.8 * 2 = 9.6

So 9.6 + 0.8 = 10.4

Answer 2

19.2

Explanation:

each element of the pattern is the product of the previous element and 2

1.2 x 2 = 2.4

2.4 x 2 = 4.8

4.8 x 2 = 9.6

therefore, the next number in the pattern would be the last element multiplied by 2

9.6 x 2 = 19.2
