2 6 4 12 10 30 28 if the pattern continues, what is the next number likely to be?
Every other number is 3 times the number before it. The other numbers are 2 less than the number before it.
0 (4), 1(5)
2/19,27/76,46/76,65/76
To identify the pattern in the given sequence, let's analyze the differences between consecutive numbers:
6 - 2 = 4
12 - 6 = 6
10 - 4 = 6
30 - 10 = 20
28 - 30 = -2
Looking at the differences, we can see that the pattern alternates between adding 2 and multiplying by 2. First, we add 2 to the previous number, then we multiply by 2, and so on.
Using this pattern, we can continue the sequence as follows:
28 + 2 = 30
30 * 2 = 60
Therefore, the next number likely to be in the sequence is 60.
