Question
Mrs. Hunt wrote the following number pattern: 37, 30, 23, 16,
Find the number would come next if the pattern continued.
- 15
- 5
- 9
- 10
Hint:
Subtraction is an operation used to find the difference between numbers.
The correct answer is: 9
Here, we have to find the next number.
Mrs Haunt wrote the number pattern = 37 , 30 , 23 , 16
First term = 37 .
Second term = 37 - 7 = 30 .
Third term = 30 - 7 = 23 .
Fourth term = 23 - 7 = 16 .
Now, next term = 16 - 7 = 9 .
Hence, the correct option is (d).
As, we can see in the series that there is a gap of 7 units in each term. So, we can have the next term by subtracting 7 units in the last term.
