What is the next number in the sequence 12 15 27 27 42?

Answer 1

To find the next number in the sequence 12, 15, 27, 27, 42, we can look for a pattern in the differences between the numbers. The differences are 3, 12, 0, and 15, respectively. The pattern in the differences suggests an increase, so the next difference could be 3 more than the last difference (15), which is 18. Adding 18 to the last number (42) gives us 60. Thus, the next number in the sequence is 60.
