Step-by-step explanation:
If you see the number series properly there are two series.
the two series are : 96, 48, 24, _, 6 and 3, 6 ,12, 24
first series
96 , 48 , 24 , __ , 6.
96 ÷ 2 = 48
48 ÷ 2 = 24
24 ÷ 2 = 12
12 ÷ 2 = 6
and second one
3 , 6 , 12 , 24 .
It’s a geometric sequence of common ratio 2; so each term in this sequence is multiplied by 2 to reach the following one:
3×2=6
6×2=12
12×2=24
24×2=48
48×2=96
And so on…
in first series you will see the number is divided by two.
so 24 ÷ 2 = 12.
there are 2 sequences
96, 48, 24, _, 6 and 3, 6 ,12, 24
so in sequence 1
every number is divided by 2 to get next number
Answer:
96, 3, 48, 6, 24, 12,__, 24, 6.
