The next number is the sequence is 10. To find the second number, 1 was subtracted from the first number To find the third number, 2 was subtracted from the second number To find the fourth number, 3 was subtracted from the third number Therefore to find the fifth number, 4 must be subtracted from the fourth number. 14 - 4 = 10

To find the second number, 1 was subtracted from the first number To find the third number, 2 was subtracted from the second number To find the fourth number, 3 was subtracted from the third number Therefore to find the fifth number, 4 must be subtracted from the fourth number. 14 - 4 = 10
5/8 (7/8 - 2/8)
32-1/4 = 31 3/4
The third multiple of 3 is 9 and the fourth multiple of 4 is 16. So 9 multiplied by 16 is 144.
