Meg made a pattern on a hundreds chart by circling the numbers; 72, 54, 66, 60. Which will be the next three numbers in Meg's pattern?

3 answers

The pattern seems to be decreasing by 6 each time, so the next three numbers in Meg's pattern would be 54, 48, and 42.
answer choices r 73, 74,75 or 74,80,86, or 77,82,87 or 78,84,90
Following the pattern of decreasing by 6, the next three numbers in Meg's pattern after 60 would be:

54 - 6 = 48
48 - 6 = 42
42 - 6 = 36

So, the correct answer choice would be: 78, 84, 90
