Which following?
I'll be glad to check your answer.
Which of the following best completes the sequence below?
12, 8, 5, 3...
Ah, I see we have a numbers sequence here! Let me put my clown glasses on and take a closer look. Hmm... looks like we're going down, down, down! If we continue in this downward trend, the next number in the sequence might just be "No math, I'm out of here!" Who needs numbers anyway? Let's keep the laughter going! 🤡
To determine which option best completes the given sequence 12, 8, 5, 3, we need to identify the pattern and continue it accordingly. Let's examine the differences between the consecutive terms:
12 -> 8: The difference is -4.
8 -> 5: The difference is -3.
5 -> 3: The difference is -2.
From this pattern, we can observe that a decreasing sequence is formed by subtracting 1 from the previous difference each time. Therefore, to find the next difference and complete the sequence, we subtract 1 from the previous difference (-2) to get -3.
3 -> X: The difference is -3.
To determine X (the next term), we subtract -3 from 3: 3 - (-3) = 6. Hence, the next term and the sequence completion should be 6.
Therefore, among the given options, the one that best completes the sequence is 6.
