Continue the pattern: a) 1, 3, 6, 10, _____, _____, _____, ______.
Added by Keith B.
Step 1
To get from 3 to 6, we add 3. To get from 6 to 10, we add 4. So, to continue the pattern, we need to add 5 to the last number (10), then add 6 to the result, then add 7 to the next result, and so on. Show more…
