Let's solve each number sequence step by step and identify the pattern.
---
1. 2, 4, 6, 8, _____, _____
-
Pattern: Each number increases by 2.
- So:
8 + 2 =
10,
10 + 2 =
12
-
Answer: 10, 12
-
The pattern is: Adding 2 to the previous number (or counting by 2s)
---
2. 3, 6, 9, 12, _____, _____
-
Pattern: Each number increases by 3.
- So:
12 + 3 =
15,
15 + 3 =
18
-
Answer: 15, 18
-
The pattern is: Adding 3 to the previous number (or multiples of 3)
---
3. 115, 120, 125, 130, _____, _____
-
Pattern: Each number increases by 5.
- So:
130 + 5 =
135,
135 + 5 =
140
-
Answer: 135, 140
-
The pattern is: Adding 5 to the previous number
---
4. 1050, 1060, 1070, _____, _____
-
Pattern: Each number increases by 10.
- So:
1070 + 10 =
1080,
1080 + 10 =
1090
-
Answer: 1080, 1090
-
The pattern is: Adding 10 to the previous number
---
5. 10, 9, 8, 7, _____, _____, _____
-
Pattern: Each number decreases by 1.
- So:
7 - 1 =
6,
6 - 1 =
5,
5 - 1 =
4
-
Answer: 6, 5, 4
-
The pattern is: Subtracting 1 from the previous number (counting down by 1)
---
6. 2075, 2050, 2025, _____, _____
-
Pattern: Each number decreases by 25.
- So:
2025 - 25 =
2000,
2000 - 25 =
1975
-
Answer: 2000, 1975
-
The pattern is: Subtracting 25 from the previous number
---
7. 850, 841, 832, _____, _____, _____
- Let's check the difference:
- 850 - 841 = 9
- 841 - 832 = 9
- So, the pattern is subtracting 9 each time.
- Continue:
- 832 - 9 =
823
- 823 - 9 =
814
- 814 - 9 =
805
-
Answer: 823, 814, 805
-
The pattern is: Subtracting 9 from the previous number
