After observing this pattern, amira made a conjecture for the next number in the pattern. 4, 12, 36, 108, 324, ⦠which number was most likely her conjecture for the next number? 332 432 972 1296

Using the pattern of 4, 12, 36, 108, 324, you can see that the pattern is the number (n) times 3 to get the next numbers. In an expression, that can be seen as x = n*3 where x is the next number in the sequence and n is the current or latest number. Using this expression the next number after 324 would be x = 324*3 = 972.
