The answer to this problem
is letter C, as the next two numbers for this pattern
would be 7 and then 11. Let's see how you arrived
at that answer.
To begin, you want to see if you can see any
kind of pattern with the numbers that are given. Look
at the first two digits and then the third, is there
something that is being done to each digit that is
the same to each number?
As you continue to look, notice how the first
number is 15, the third number is 14, the fifth
number is 13, and the seventh number is 12. Notice how every
other number decreases 1. You should now see that
the next number in that part of the pattern, the
ninth number would be 11. Great, you have the last
number in the pattern figured out.
You took care of that numbers in the 1, 3, 5, and
so on boxes, now what about the other boxes? Let's
look at the second number and it is 10 and the fourth
number is 9. The sixth number is 8. You can now see
that going to the eighth number it will be one less
than 8 which is 7.
Therefore you found out that the next two numbers
would be 7 and 11. Your answer would be letter C.
