8, 15, 14, 9, 1, 6, 3 what number would come next in the sequence above, 4, 7, 10, or 12? explain your answer.

The next number in the sequence will be 12.

Explanation

The given sequence is:   8, 15, 14, 9, 1, 6, 3

If we express these numbers in words, then we can see that the words are in alphabetical order, like

Eight,  Fifteen,  Fourteen,  Nine,  One,  Six,  Three

There are two numbers 10 and 12 in the options which starts with letter 'T' , but  alphabetically 'Twelve' will be the next number after 'Three'

So, the next number in the sequence will be 12.

7

step-by-step explanation:

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
