Math Problem Statement

Fill in the missing numbers in the table based on the pattern or relationship in each column.

Solution

The image you uploaded presents a table where you're tasked with filling in the missing numbers based on a pattern or relationship between the numbers in each column.

Let's break it down column by column:

First Column:

  • 15
  • 30
  • ?
  • 4
  • 90

There is a clear relationship in this column. Each number appears to either be doubling or halving:

  • 15 × 2 = 30
  • Missing number → 4
  • 90 is at the bottom, which could be tied to this logic.

Since 30 seems to halve to 15 (30 ÷ 2 = 15), the missing number between 30 and 4 might involve a halving pattern. Therefore, 302=15\frac{30}{2} = 15 and 42=2\frac{4}{2} = 2, the missing value could be 2.

Second Column:

  • 8
  • 5
  • 24
  • 32
  • 9

There doesn't appear to be a linear progression here, but instead, these values may correspond to another pattern or ratio between rows and columns.

The final answer for the first column (between 30 and 4) seems to be 2.

Would you like more details on how the rest of the values interact? Or is there another clarification you'd prefer?


Here are some follow-up questions:

  1. Could you explain the potential relationship between the second column's values?
  2. How would the doubling or halving relationship apply if the missing value were in the second column?
  3. Are there other types of number sequences or patterns that apply here?
  4. Could we look at this table from a geometric or ratio-based perspective?
  5. How would the relationships change if you considered additive sequences instead of multiplicative ones?

Tip: Always analyze patterns both row-wise and column-wise to see if there are relationships between values.
