Identify and extend the pattern to find the next number in this sequence: 22, 35, 48, 61

Next term of sequence: 74

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a sequence of numbers as: 22, 35, 48, 61. We are asked to find the formula that represents the given sequence.  

First of all, we will find common difference between two consecutive terms by subtracting any term from its next term as:

This means that common difference is 13.

We know that an arithmetic sequence is in form , where,

= nth term of sequence.

a = First term of sequence,

n = Number of terms,

d = Common difference.

1st terms of our given sequence is 13.

Therefore, the formula of our given sequence is .

Next term of sequence would be .

Therefore, the next term of sequence is 74.

so then what are you asking?

step-by-step explanation:

question: how many people can she serve?

answer: she can serve 16.66666667 people. so she can only give 16 people a complete serving.

question: does she have enough ice cream for her guests?

answer: no. explanation: she only has enough for 16 people to have a full serving. however, she can give a 17th person a partial serving.
