Finding missing value in geometric pattern
Test your understanding of missing value in geometric pattern by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
What term is missing in this geometric pattern?
🎙️
Geometric patterns have the same ratio between all terms. We can see that every term in this pattern is 5 times the prior one.
🎙️
So our missing term is 5 times smaller than 15
🎙️
Which means it's 3
