Identify the pattern and find the next number in the pattern -48,-24,-12,-6 answers are -3, 0, 2, 3
Did you notice that they divided by 2 to get the next number ?
So ....
To identify the pattern in the sequence -48, -24, -12, -6, we need to look for the relationship between the numbers. By observing the sequence, we can determine that the pattern is halving each term, then adding 1.
Let's break it down step by step:
- Starting with -48, we halve it: -48 ÷ 2 = -24.
- Moving on to -24, we halve it: -24 ÷ 2 = -12.
- Next, halving -12 gives us: -12 ÷ 2 = -6.
Based on this pattern, the next step is to again halve -6:
-6 ÷ 2 = -3.
Therefore, the next number in the pattern is -3.
