The difference between each number here is the terms of a geometric progression (GP) with a common ratio of 2:
7 16 34 70 142
GP: +9, +18, +36, +72, +144…
Therefore, the missing number is 142 + 144 = 286
If a young girl grows up believing her voice matters, her dreams matter, and her future matters, she enters the world differently.
The way we speak to girls today shapes the women they become tomorrow.
Never underestimate the power of encouragement.
@Light_onchain Not popular to say it out loud anymore but I'll say it anyway, Jesus Christ is the only firm ground in a world that keeps shifting. Everything else is sinking sand.
@Light_onchain Man, this got me. I've been pushing through so hard for so long that I forgot I wasn't meant to do it alone. Strength is good until it becomes pride. Letting go is finally trusting something bigger than yourself. God🙏
There comes a moment in life when you realize that no amount of strength, planning or willpower can carry you through everything.
It is in that moment, when you finally stop fighting and start surrendering that God steps in and does what only He can do.
Any number that appears just after the division sign is at the denominator. So, the first two number can be rewritten as a single fraction:
(8/8) * 8 = 1 * 8
= 8 [The correct answer]
The last 8 cannot directly multiply the middle 8 because they are preceded by opposite signs.
8 / 8 * 8 ≠ 8 / (8*8) = 8/64 or 1/8
[Wrong]
The same principle applies to addition and subtraction:
5 - 3 or -3 + 5 = 2
In the same way:
… / 8 * 8 or 8 / 8 = 1
@MustafaCharts Divide both sides of 9/27 by 9. Always simplify fractions where possible:
1/3 = N/33
N = 33 * 1/3
= 33/3
N = 11
Check (replace N with 11):
11/33 => 1/3
@miaElizai This is so easy that you don’t even need to know the square root of 25 to simplify this (Just assume ‘_|’ is the square root sign):
(2_|25) / _|25
Divide both sides by _|25
2/1 = 2
