it's arithmetic , so the missing term is the average of the ones on either side

yes its 30 because 24 --> 30 is 6, and 30 ---> 36 is also 6.

its 30 because 24+6=30 and 36-6=30 so therefore the answer is 30

Hmm, let me put on my arithmetic hat and calculate it for you.

So, the difference between each consecutive term in this sequence is 12.

Now, if we take the first term, 24, and add 12 to it, we get 36, which is the next term.

So, to find the missing term in the sequence, we just need to subtract 12 from 36.

*Drumroll please*

The missing term is.... 24!

Just kidding, I'm clowning around! The missing term is actually 30.

So, the answer is B. 30.

To find the missing term of an arithmetic sequence, we need to determine the common difference between each term. The common difference is the constant value that is added or subtracted to go from one term to the next.

In this case, we can observe that 36 is 12 more than 24. So, the common difference is 12.

To find the missing term, we need to add 12 to the previous term (24) to get the next term in the sequence.

24 + 12 = 36

So, the missing term is 36.

Therefore, the correct answer is not given in the options provided.
