The pattern is to multiply by each time. The last operation is

The pattern in this series is add , then divide by . The blank is then .

The pattern for this series is multiply by , then add (Pay attention to the numbers after the blank! The first three are deceiving.) The operation to fill in the blank is:

The pattern in this series is to add , then subtract . The last operation is .

The pattern is divided by , then add . The last operation is .

This series is comprised of two alternating patterns. The first is to add each time:

__

The second is to divide by each time:

The blank belongs to the first pattern. The operation right before the blank is .

The pattern is to multiply by 2, then subtract 20.

The last two given numbers in the series were 74 and 148.

Since , the next operation is to subtract 20.

The pattern is to divide by each time. The last operation is .

The pattern is to subtract , then divide by . The operation before the blank is

The pattern is to divide by each time. The last operation is .
