1                        Numbers and






           the number system










               1.1  Counting and sequences





             Worked example 1

             The numbers in this sequence increase by 30 each time.

             10, 40, 70, . . .

             The sequence continues in the same way.
             Which number in the sequence is closest to 200?



             List the terms in the sequence.

             The next terms in the sequence are:


                  +30         +30         +30          +30           +30          +30          +30
             10          40          70          100          130           160          190           220

                       200

                                                                           Work out which term is

                 190               220                                     closest to 200.


             Answer: 190 is closest to 200.
