Example Question #4853 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)

What is the missing number in the sequence?

\displaystyle 72\displaystyle 36, __, \displaystyle 9

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 33

\displaystyle 21

\displaystyle 11

\displaystyle 18

\displaystyle 36

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 18

Explanation:

To find the next number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is dividing by two. So, to find the missing number, we need to divide the number before the blank space by two.

\displaystyle 36 \div 2 = 18

Example Question #32 : Sets

What is the missing number in the sequence?

\displaystyle 4, __, \displaystyle 36\displaystyle 108

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 32

\displaystyle 8

\displaystyle 24

\displaystyle 6

\displaystyle 12

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 12

Explanation:

To find the next number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is multiplying by three. So, to find the missing number, we need to multiply the number before the blank space by three.

\displaystyle 4 \times 3 = 12

Example Question #33 : Sets

What is the missing number in the sequence?

\displaystyle 3, __, \displaystyle 27\displaystyle 81

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 24

\displaystyle 12

\displaystyle 6

\displaystyle 33

\displaystyle 9

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 9

Explanation:

To find the next number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is multiplying by three! So, to find the missing number, we need to multiply the number before the blank space by three.

\displaystyle 3 \times 3 = 9

Example Question #63 : Data Analysis And Probability

What is the missing number in the sequence?

\displaystyle 12\displaystyle 10, __, \displaystyle 6

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 7

\displaystyle 2

\displaystyle 9

\displaystyle 8

\displaystyle 11

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 8

Explanation:

To find the next number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is subtracting two. So, to find the missing number, we need to subtract two from the number before the blank space. 

\displaystyle 10 - 2 = 8

Example Question #31 : Data Analysis

What is the missing number in the sequence?

\displaystyle 72\displaystyle 36, __, \displaystyle 9

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 99

\displaystyle 30

\displaystyle 12

\displaystyle 24

\displaystyle 18

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 18

Explanation:

To find the next number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is dividing by two! So, to find the missing number, we need to divide two from the number before the blank space. 

\displaystyle 36 \div 2 = 18

Example Question #35 : Sets

What is the missing number in the sequence?

\displaystyle 66\displaystyle 59, __, \displaystyle 45\displaystyle 38

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 50

\displaystyle 56

\displaystyle 52

\displaystyle 54

\displaystyle 58

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 52

Explanation:

To find the missing number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is subtracting by seven. So, to find the missing number, we need to subtract seven from the number before the blank space. 

\displaystyle 59 - 7 = 52

Example Question #32 : Data Analysis

What is the missing number in the sequence?

\displaystyle 9\displaystyle 18\displaystyle 36, __

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 18

\displaystyle 54

\displaystyle 82

\displaystyle 39

\displaystyle 7\displaystyle 2

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 7\displaystyle 2

Explanation:

To find the missing number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is multiplying by two. So, to find the missing number, we need to multiply the number before the blank space by two.

\displaystyle 36 \times 2 =72

Example Question #31 : How To Find The Missing Part Of A List

What is the missing number in the sequence?

\displaystyle 28, __, \displaystyle 30\displaystyle 31

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 33

\displaystyle 2

\displaystyle 29

\displaystyle 36

\displaystyle 19

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 29

Explanation:

To find the missing number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is adding one. So, to find the missing number, we need to add one to the number before the blank space. 

\displaystyle 28 + 1 = 29

Example Question #31 : Data Analysis

What is the missing number in the sequence?

\displaystyle 125\displaystyle 25, __, \displaystyle 1

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 26

\displaystyle 6

\displaystyle 30

\displaystyle 2

\displaystyle 5

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 5

Explanation:

To find the missing number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is dividing by five. So, to find the missing number, we need to divide the number before the blank space by five!

\displaystyle 25 \div 5 = 5

Example Question #33 : Data Analysis
