Answer:
2,4,8,16,32,64
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways one could approach this. The goal is to find out the factor by which the numbers are increasing. Looking at going from 8 -> 16, we have either added 8, or doubled 8. So the factor is either +8 or x2. Going from 16 -> 32, adding 8 no longer holds true, while multiplying by 2 (doubling 16) does. To confirm what we have found, we can further check our math by using the final two numbers, 32 -> 64, to confirm that the sequence pattern is to double the current number to achieve the next number.
Working backwards, we can half each number to find out the first two numbers in the sequence. 64/2 = 32, 32/2 = 16, 16/2 = 8, 8/2 = 4, 4/2 = 2
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of tiles in the design is 1 + 2 + 3 + ...
We can model this as an arithmetic series, where the first term is 1 and the common difference is 1. The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series is:
S = n/2 (2a₁ + d (n − 1))
Given that a₁ = 1 and d = 1:
S = n/2 (2(1) + n − 1)
S = n/2 (n + 1)
Since S ≤ 60:
n/2 (n + 1) ≤ 60
n (n + 1) ≤ 120
n must be an integer, so from trial and error:
n ≤ 10
Mr. Tong should use 10 tiles in the final row to use the most tiles possible.

5:30pm
just add 30 mins to 4:15pm which is 4:45pm then add the 45 mins to that which becomes 5:30pm
