Answer

13\text{13}

Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Identify the pattern in the given sequence.

    The sequence is 25,22,19,16,?25, 22, 19, 16, ?
    Let's find the difference between consecutive terms:

    25−22=325 - 22 = 3 22−19=322 - 19 = 3 19−16=319 - 16 = 3

    The pattern shows that each number is obtained by subtracting 3 from the previous number.

  2. Apply the pattern to find the missing number.

    To find the next number in the sequence, subtract 3 from the last given number, which is 16.

    16−3=1316 - 3 = 13

    The missing number is 13.

    The complete sequence is 25,22,19,16,1325, 22, 19, 16, \boxed{\text{13}}.
