There is not enough information to answer the question. The pattern could be 1 (+1) = 2 (+3) = 5 (+5) = 10 ... where the differences are the odd integers, or 1 (+1) = 2 (+3) = 5 (+6) = 11 ... where the differences are the triangular numbers, or 1 (+1) = 2 (+3) = 5 (+9) = 14 ... where the differences are powers of 3, or many, many other possibilities.
The pattern in the sequence 2, 5, 10, 16, 26, 37 involves the differences between consecutive terms. The differences are: 3 (5-2), 5 (10-5), 6 (16-10), 10 (26-16), and 11 (37-26). The differences themselves increase as follows: 2, 1, 4, and 1, suggesting a pattern where the increments vary. This can indicate a non-linear growth, but observing closely, the second differences show a consistent pattern that could help predict future terms.

To find the difference of 54 and 32, we subtract 32 from 54 to get 22. Next, we find the difference of 8 and 5, which is 3. Multiplying these two differences together (22 and 3) gives us the final result of 66.
5 - 3 and 3/5 = 1 and 2/5
