Question

What is the next term in the series $8,12,24,60...$?

Answer 1

Determine the next term in the series $8,12,24,60...$.

The given series is $8,12,24,60...$.

The first number in the given series is $8$.

Now, the second number in the given series is obtained when $1.5$ is multiplied by $8$.

$8\times 1.5=12$

Follow a pattern to find the third and fourth numbers in a given series.

$\begin{array}{rcl}12\times 2& =& 24\\ & & \\ 24\times 2.5& =& 60\end{array}$

Thus, conclude that the next number in the given series will be $60\times 3=180$.

Hence the next number in the series is $180$.
