i need a question answered asap .......

[howelsabout]

i am applying for a job and am a total plum when it comes to maths can anyone give me the answer to this question please it may look simple to some but i just cannot see it. tia.

Find the missing numbers in the following sequences 1, 2, 3, 5, ?, 13, 21, ?

• 11 & 24 8 & 45 8 & 34 11 & 34 9 & 45

First one is 8, next is 34 - you are adding the numbers e.g. 1 +2 = 3, 2 + 3 = 5 etc.

I think it's 8....1+2=3 2+3=5 3+5=8 8+13=21

I might be wrong though!

simple adding each number to next

not sue what you have to do for the 2nd question - have you to identify the number represented by the *?

8! 30

1 2 3 5 8 13 21

You had the two preceding numbers to get the next one.

The first one is 8 and 34. The number is the sum of the two previous numbers, so 3=2+1, 5=3+2 etc.

Not sure about the second sequence. Will have a think.

i think 8 & 34 as adding last 2 numbers to make next

8 and 34. as the other's said.

thank you ladies

@amck you have lost me lol

What sort of a job asks for number sequencing skills?

I think the second one is answer options??

heres another one

Charlie is 4th from the front and 9th from the end. How many people are there in the queue?

total plum i know

12

what job is it and can i get it? :o

8 behind, 3 in front plus Charlie is 12.

I'm also rubbish at this sort of thing!

12? 3 in front of him and 8 behind him? 3 plus 8 plus him = 12?

12 and I'm shite at Maths, if you get this job can you actually do it?

I got 13
