Here are the completed patterns:

A) The pattern is to add a number that doubles each time.

  1. Find the differences between consecutive terms.

    8−3=58 - 3 = 5
    18−8=1018 - 8 = 10
    38−18=2038 - 18 = 20

  2. Observe the pattern in the differences.

    The differences are 5,10,205, 10, 20, which means each difference is double the previous one. The next difference will be 20×2=4020 \times 2 = 40.

  3. Add the next difference to the last term.

    38+40=7838 + 40 = 78
    The completed pattern is 3,8,18,38,783, 8, 18, 38, \boxed{\textbf{78}}.

    B) The pattern is to add 7 to the previous term.

  4. Find the differences between consecutive terms.

    14−7=714 - 7 = 7
    21−14=721 - 14 = 7
    28−21=728 - 21 = 7
    35−28=735 - 28 = 7

  5. The common difference is 7.

    The missing number is already filled in the image as 21, which is correct.
    The completed pattern is 7,14,21,28,357, 14, \boxed{\textbf{21}}, 28, 35.

    C) The pattern is to subtract a number that increases by 1 each time.

  6. Find the differences between consecutive terms.

    23−25=−223 - 25 = -2
    20−23=−320 - 23 = -3
    16−20=−416 - 20 = -4

  7. Observe the pattern in the differences.

    The differences are −2,−3,−4-2, -3, -4. The next difference will be −5-5.

  8. Subtract the next difference from the last term.

    16−5=1116 - 5 = 11
    The completed pattern is 25,23,20,16,1125, 23, 20, 16, \boxed{\textbf{11}}.

    D) The pattern is to subtract numbers following the sequence 12,4,6,8,…12, 4, 6, 8, \dots.

  9. Find the differences between consecutive terms.

    21−33=−1221 - 33 = -12
    17−21=−417 - 21 = -4
    11−17=−611 - 17 = -6

  10. Observe the pattern in the subtractions

    12,4,612, 4, 6. The pattern for these subtractions is to subtract 8, then add 2, then add 2. So, 12→−84→+26→+2812 \xrightarrow{-8} 4 \xrightarrow{+2} 6 \xrightarrow{+2} 8. The next number to subtract is 8.

  11. Subtract the next number in the sequence of subtractions from the last term.

    11−8=311 - 8 = 3
    The completed pattern is 33,21,17,11,333, 21, 17, 11, \boxed{\textbf{3}}.

    E) The pattern is to add a number that doubles each time.

  12. Find the differences between consecutive terms.

    7−4=37 - 4 = 3
    13−7=613 - 7 = 6

  13. Observe the pattern in the differences.

    The differences are 3,63, 6, which means each difference is double the previous one. The next difference will be 6×2=126 \times 2 = 12.

  14. Add the next difference to the last known term.

    13+12=2513 + 12 = 25

  15. Verify the next step with the given number.

    The next difference would be 12×2=2412 \times 2 = 24.
    25+24=4925 + 24 = 49. This matches the given number.
    The completed pattern is 4,7,13,25,494, 7, 13, \boxed{\textbf{25}}, 49.

    F) The pattern is to divide the previous term by 3.

  16. Find the relationship between consecutive terms.

    243÷3=81243 \div 3 = 81
    9÷3=39 \div 3 = 3

  17. The common operation is division by 3.

    Apply this to find the missing term.
    81÷3=2781 \div 3 = 27

  18. Verify the next step.

    27÷3=927 \div 3 = 9. This matches the given number.
    The completed pattern is 243,81,27,9,3243, 81, \boxed{\textbf{27}}, 9, 3.
