Which best describes the rule for finding the next number in the pattern _______ 56, 28, 14, 7, 3, 5 ellipsis ?1.C.3 Divide the previous number by 1/2. Multiply the previous number by 1/2. Write the next odd decimal. Subtract twice the previous number. Add twice the previous number.

Solution

Multiply Previous number by 1/2 is the answer. Option B

Explanation:A) if u divide 56 (previous number of 28) by 1/2 the next number of 56 will be 56/ (1/2)=56*2 = 112

which doesnot satisfy the pattern

B) if u multiply 56 by 1/2 we will get (56*1)/2= 28

Similarly 28*1/2=14

14*1/2=7

7*1/2=3.5 and so on...

thus option B is the correcct option

In the similar way,Option C,D and E also doesnot satisfy the pattern given

Answer is option B
