    A. 8,023
    Explanation
    The missing number can be determined by observing the pattern in the given sequence. The first number increases by 100 each time, while the second number remains the same. Therefore, the missing number should have the same second number as the previous numbers, which is 8, and the first number should be 100 more than the previous number, which is 8,123. Thus, the missing number is 8,023.

    The sequence increases by 100 between each number. Let's break it down:
    2,840
    2,940 (+100)
    3,040 (+100)
    3,140 (+100)
    3,240 (+100)

    Look at these patterns. What are the next two numbers? 8,454      8,458 ____ 8,466 _________

    • 8,476    8,477

    • 8,460     8,600

    • 8,462      8,466

    Correct Answer
    A. 8,462     8,470
    Explanation
    The pattern in the first set of numbers is that each number is increasing by 4. Therefore, the missing number is 8,462 and the next number is 8,466.

    The pattern in the second set of numbers is not clear. It seems that the numbers are increasing by different amounts each time. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the next two numbers in the sequence.

    A. 8,937
    Explanation
    The given numbers are 2,326, 3,581, 1,229, 5,944, and 4,127. To find the total of all odd numbers, we need to add up the odd numbers from this list. The odd numbers in the list are 3,581, 1,229, and 4,127. Adding these numbers together gives us a total of 8,937.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    In these numbers : 2,326      3,581      1,229       5,944         4,127 What is the difference between two even numbers?

    • 3,617

    • 3,619

    • 3,618

    Correct Answer
    A. 3,618
    Explanation
    The difference between two even numbers can be found by subtracting the smaller even number from the larger even number. In this case, the larger even number is 5,944 and the smaller even number is 4,127. Subtracting 4,127 from 5,944 gives us 1,817. Therefore, the difference between the two even numbers is 1,817.
