7
Footnote: On the assumption that the segment shown will continue in the same pattern, 7 is obviously the answer sought. However, the statement of the problem gives no reason to make that assumption. Consequently, the segment may, in fact, continue as a repetition ( 10 1 9 2 8 3 10 1 9 2 8 3...) , in which case, the next numeral is 10. Furthermore, the segment may actually continue 3 3 3 3 3...in which case the next numeral is 3. Or--the segment may continue in any pattern at all, in which case, any numeral may be the actual element that is called for.
In a word, the problem as stated does not allow a unique "correct" answer.
(Credit Ludwig Wittgenstein for the analysis of problems of that kind.)
Teachers and those who score standardized tests will not be amused by any effort to invoke that reasoning as an excuse for your not being able to come up with the expected answer: 7.

What comes next 1000 100 10?
The pattern is that each number equals to one tenth of the number before it. The number that will come next will be one tenth of 10, which is 1.
What number is next 5 10 15 10?
The Next NumberThe next number is 25 if you use the following pattern: 5, (the number 10), 15 (the first number +10), (the number 10), and the next number is the third number +10 or 25.or you could think of it this way:5, 10 (+5), 15 (+5), -5 (10)The pattern is +5, +5, -5, so the next number would be 15, the next 20, and the next 15.
What does patter mean in math?
In a number series, you must figure out the "pattern" in order to say what will be the next number. For example, in each of the following number series, say what is the pattern, and what is the next number. 1. 1 3 5 7 Answer: The pattern is to increase the previous number by 2, and the next number is 9. 2. 3 10 31 94 Answer: The pattern is to multiply the previous number by 3, then add 1, and the next number is 283. 3. 100 10 1 0.1 Answer: The pattern is to divide the previous number by 10, and the next number is 0.01.
