Use the simplest rule you can find to calculate the next three terms of the following sequence. 63, 48, 35, 24, 15, . . . a. 11, 6, 4 c. 24, 35, 63 b. 8, 3, 0 d. 30, 60, 120
To get to 48 from 63, you subtract by 15. To get to 35 from 48, you subtract by 13. To get to 24 from 35, you subtract by 11. The pattern here is subtract by 2 less than the previous number. So 15-7=8. Then 8-5=3. 3-3=0. The next numbers would be 8, 3, 0. So the answer is B.
