What is the next number: 120, 60, 20, 5, ___?
Answer: 1.25
Divide by 2, then by 3, then by 4 — the next step divides by 4, so 5 ÷ 4 = 1.25.
Find the missing number: 3, 6, 11, 18, ___, 38
Answer: 27
Differences are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 — odd numbers, so 18 + 9 = 27, and 27 + 11 = 38 confirms it.
What comes next: 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, ___?
Answer: 2
Each term is halved, so 4 ÷ 2 = 2.
Complete the series: 2, 6, 18, 54, ___
Answer: 162
Each term is multiplied by 3, so 54 × 3 = 162.
What is the next term: 10, 10, 20, 60, 240, ___?
Answer: 1200
Multiply by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 — the next multiplier is 5, so 240 × 5 = 1200.
Find the missing number: 15, 13, 16, 12, 17, 11, ___
Answer: 18
Two interleaved sequences: 15, 16, 17, 18 (+1) and 13, 12, 11 (−1), so the next is 18.
What comes next: 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, ___?
Answer: 16
Each term doubles, so 8 × 2 = 16.
