Let’s analyze the given pattern:
1. 8 = 56
2. 7 = 42
3. 6 = 30
4. 5 = 20
5. 3 = ?
Step 1: Identifying the Pattern
Observing the numbers:
• 8 → 56
• 7 → 42
• 6 → 30
• 5 → 20
Checking multiplication patterns:
• 8 × 7 = 56
• 7 × 6 = 42
• 6 × 5 = 30
• 5 × 4 = 20
It follows the rule:
N \times (N – 1) = \text{Result}
Step 2: Applying the Pattern to 3
3 \times (3 – 1) = 3 \times 2 = 6
Final Answer: 6 ✅
The pattern to make this correct. My observation is that the answers for each are multiplying the beginning number 8 by the next sequential number of 7 = 56, The 7 is multiplied by 6 = 42, The 6 is multiplied by 5 = 30, the 5 is multiplied by 4 = 20. (need to complete the sequence 4) 4 multiplied by 3 = 12 and the final answer is 3 is multiplied by 2 = 6. The answer to this pattern is 6.
