The sequence is a geometric progression with a common ratio of 0.5 (each number is half of the previous one). To find the next numbers, we continue dividing by 2: 16 ÷ 2 = 8, 8 ÷ 2 = 4. Therefore, the next numbers in the sequence are 8 and 4.
Well, honey, it looks like we're just cutting those numbers in half each time. So, following that pattern, the next numbers in the sequence would be 8 and 4. Keep it simple, darling.
Oh, dude, it's like a reverse rollercoaster ride! So, we're just halving the number each time, right? So, the next numbers would be 8, 4, and 2. It's like dividing by 2 is the new black.
256
Yes - because each successive number is twice the preceding one. The next three numbers in the sequence would be 32,64 & 128
512 / 2 = 256 256 / 2 = 128 128 / 2 = 64 64 / 2 = 32 32 / 2 = 16 16 / 2 = 8 8 / 2 = 4 4 / 2 = 2 2 / 2 = 1
128. 1+1=2 2+2=4 4+4= 16 16+16= 32 32+32= 64 64+64 = 128 128+128 = 256 256+256 =512 512+512= 1024 Each time take the answer from the previous problem and double it to find the next number in the sequence.
-4 +8 -16 +32 -64 +128 Next number in this sequence is 184
