What is the missing number
Find the missing number in the sequence:
3, 6, 12, 24, ___, 96
What number should go in the blank?
A box of biscuits
A box of biscuits contains 36 biscuits. 20 biscuits have foil wrappers. 15 are chocolate biscuits with foil wrappers. If 9 are not chocolate and do not have a foil wrapper, then how many chocolate biscuits are there?
Let's examine the pattern:
ReplyDeleteFrom 3 to 6, the number is multiplied by 2 (3 × 2 = 6).
From 6 to 12, again multiplied by 2 (6 × 2 = 12).
From 12 to 24, once more multiplied by 2 (12 × 2 = 24).
Following this pattern:
24 × 2 = 48
48 × 2 = 96
Final Answer:
The missing number is 48.
