Find the pattern and write next two numbers 2,3,5,8_,_
Answers
Answer:
2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 17
Starting with 2 (why are we starting with 2, that's weird), I use my thumb to get to the next number. My thumb is worth 1. So I get to 3.
So, counting on my fingers (you know. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), my index finger is worth 2, so I now add that to my 3 and get 5.
I keep doing this until I run out of fingers and get up to 17 using my pinkie.
Now comes the tricky part. Because I have run out of fingers on that hand, I have to use my other hand. As my thumb is only worth 1, when I add that to 17, I get 18. And that's the answer!
Answer:
Pattern 1: 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 17...
Pattern 2: 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21...
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 patterns. The first one is that the number is increasing by 1 more than the last number was. The second one is that the numbers are all a sum of the 2 numbers before it.
Hope this helps!
