Question 111

18.3, 20.6, 16, 22.9, 13.7, 2.2, 11.4

Solution

Multiples of 2.3 are alternatively added and subtracted.

18.3 $$+ (2.3 \times 1)$$ = 20.6

20.6 $$- (2.3 \times 2)$$ = 16

16 $$+ (2.3 \times 3)$$ = 22.9

22.9 $$- (2.3 \times 4)$$ = 13.7

13.7 $$+ (2.3 \times 5)$$ = 25.2 $$\neq 2.2$$

25.2 $$- (2.3 \times 6)$$ = 11.4
