Q. 1 Morgan and Gina are making up puzzles for each other.
Morgan has written down a number pattern.
1
8
16
23
46
53
a) What number should come next?

Answer 1

106

Explanation:

Given the following pattern;

1, 8, 16, 23, 46, 53, .....

To find the next term;

Difference:

8 - 1 = 7

23 - 16 = 7

53 - 46 = 7

Progression:

1 = 1st term

[1 + 7 = 8];

8 = 2nd term

8 * 2 = 16 (3rd term)

[16 + 7 = 23];

23 = 4th term

23 * 2 = 46 (5th term)

[46 + 7 = 53];

53 = 6th term

53 * 2 = 106 (7th term)

Therefore, the sequence would be 1, 8, 16, 23, 46, 53, 106, .....
