a series of numbers starts with 2.each number in the series is two times as great as the number before it.what is the sixth number in the series.
2, 4, 8, 16 . . .
I think you can figure this out from here.
2,4,8,16,32,64
64 is the 6th number
the answer is 12
12
To find the sixth number in the series, let's analyze the pattern given in the problem. The numbers in the series start with 2 and each subsequent number is twice as great as the one before it.
We can use a simple formula to find the nth number in the series: nth number = first number * (common ratio)^(n-1), where the first number is 2 and the common ratio is 2.
Using the formula, we can calculate the sixth number as follows:
Sixth number = 2 * (2)^(6-1)
= 2 * (2)^5
= 2 * 2^5
= 2 * 32
= 64
Therefore, the sixth number in the series is 64.
