72
1.) Find the difference between the 2 numbers.
88 - 56 = 32
2.) Divide the difference in half.
32/2 = 16
3.) Add or subtract this 1/2 difference to one of the numbers in #1 as in......
88 - 16 = 72 OR
56 + 16 = 72
78+88/2=166/2=8383
The number halfway between 26 and 62 can be found by taking the average of the two numbers. To do this, you add the two numbers together (26 + 62 = 88) and then divide by 2. So, 88 divided by 2 is 44. Therefore, the number halfway between 26 and 62 is 44.
It is 56, the middle number.
56. The difference between one term and the next is -2 x the previous difference. 88 to 120 is +32, so the next term is 120 - 64 = 56
What should be the next number in the following series? 100 96 104 88 120 56
(46 + 88)/2 = 67
It is 88, the number halfway between them.
78+88/2=166/2=8383
The number halfway between 26 and 62 can be found by taking the average of the two numbers. To do this, you add the two numbers together (26 + 62 = 88) and then divide by 2. So, 88 divided by 2 is 44. Therefore, the number halfway between 26 and 62 is 44.
It is 56, the middle number.
56 + 32 = 88
It is 88, the number halfway between the two middle numbers.
56. The difference between one term and the next is -2 x the previous difference. 88 to 120 is +32, so the next term is 120 - 64 = 56
What should be the next number in the following series? 100 96 104 88 120 56
The numbers, in size order, are 56, 64 and 88. The middle number now is the median and that is 64.
56 added to 88 = 144
The series alternates between two patterns: one where numbers decrease (100 to 96, then 104 to 88) and another where numbers increase significantly (88 to 120). The decreasing pattern decreases by 4, then increases by 8, showing a possible next decrease of 8 (from 56). Thus, after 56, the next number could be 64, following the decreasing pattern.
