Question

The missing number in the arithmetic sequence: 20,

Answer 1

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

it is missing where ?

based on the answer options I guess it is missing between 20 and 36.

if that is true, then the answer is 28.

the difference between 36 and 44 is 8.

the difference between 20 and 36 is 16.

the right answer should cut the interval of 16 into 2 parts (first logical approach to cut it in 2 halves of 8) and be related to the next interval between 36 and 44 (8).

the solution covering both considerations is the middle of the large interval = 20 + 8 = 28.
