To identify the pattern in the sequence -48, -24, -12, -6, we need to look for the relationship between the numbers. By observing the sequence, we can determine that the pattern is halving each term, then adding 1.
Let's break it down step by step:
- Starting with -48, we halve it: -48 ÷ 2 = -24.
- Moving on to -24, we halve it: -24 ÷ 2 = -12.
- Next, halving -12 gives us: -12 ÷ 2 = -6.
Based on this pattern, the next step is to again halve -6:
-6 ÷ 2 = -3.
Therefore, the next number in the pattern is -3.
