WHAT IS THE RULE AND MISSING NUMBER FOR:
Z 54 48 39 30
18 13 10
To determine the rule and missing number in the given sequence, let's analyze the pattern.
Looking at the numbers below the first row, we notice that they are decreasing by some value in each subsequent row. Specifically, the numbers in each row are decreasing by multiples of 5 (54-48=6, 48-39=9, 39-30=9). This suggests that the rule for the sequence involves subtracting multiples of 5.
Now, let's find the missing numbers.
In the second row, we start with 18. To find the next number, we subtract 5: 18 - 5 = 13. Then, to find the final number in the second row, we subtract another 5 from 13: 13 - 5 = 8.
Therefore, the completed sequence is:
Z 54 48 39 30
18 13 10
8
The missing number in the sequence is 8.
