Question

what comes next: 25, 20, 16, 13, 11
7
10
9
8

Answer 1

The sequence starts with the numbers: 25, 20, 16, 13, 11. It appears that the numbers are decreasing with a decreasing step:

- From 25 to 20, the difference is 5.
- From 20 to 16, the difference is 4.
- From 16 to 13, the difference is 3.
- From 13 to 11, the difference is 2.

Following this pattern, the next difference would be 1. Therefore:

11 - 1 = 10.

So, the next number in the sequence is **10**.

The numbers following include 9 and 8, which continue the decreasing pattern if those were intended to follow after the sequence.
