Q. Type the missing number in this sequence:64, ____, 58, 55, 52
Determine Pattern in Sequence: We need to determine the pattern in the sequence to find the missing number. Let's look at the difference between the known numbers in the sequence.58−55=355−52=3It seems that the sequence is decreasing by 3 each time.
Calculate Next Number: If the pattern is consistent, then the number before 58 should also be 3 more than 58. Let's calculate: 58+3=61
Verify Pattern Consistency: Now let's check if the pattern holds for the first two numbers in the sequence. 64−61 should equal 3 if the pattern is consistent.Let's calculate: 64−61=3
Identify Missing Number: Since the pattern holds, the missing number in the sequence is 61.
