minus 3, then divide by 2 and this sequence goes on
33-3=30
12/2=6
the ans are:30 and 12

The answers are 30 and 12. The pattern is to -3 and then divide by two. Therefore, when 69 - 3 = 66 , 66 divided by 2 = 33, 33 - 3= 30, 30 divides by 2 to be 15 and 15 - 3 to be 12, 12 divides by 2 to give you 6. Hence, the answers are 30 and 12.

69 66 33 "30" 15 "12" 6
the answers are 30 & 12 b/c the difference between the 1st 2 numbers (69 & 66) is 3 & the 2nd number (66) is half of the 3rd number (33) so you keep on doing that to each number. So the next numbers are 33 , so u subtract 3 from it & you get 30, so next you get the 30 & you cut that in half & there's 15 then u subtract 3 from that & its 12. And the last number is 6 which is half of 12. Hope I helped

69 66 33 30 15 12 6
69 - 6 66/2 33-3 30/2 15-3 12/2 6

The sequence is such that the next number is 3 less than the first, and then the third is half the second.
69 - 3= 66
66/2 = 33
33 - 3 = 30
30/2 = 15
15 -3 = 12
12/2 =6
Thus the two missing numbers are 30 and 12

It is a pattern, so:
69-3 = 66
66/2 = 33
33-3 = 30 (the first answer is 30)
30/2 = 15
15-3 = 12 (the second answer is 12)
12/2 = 6

Look for possible relationships between the numbers.
69-3= 66
66/2= 33
33-3= 30*
30/2= 15
15-3= 12*
12/2= 6
Guess at the relationships first and then check! -3, /2

The missing numbers are 30 and 12.
The pattern is
subtract 3, then divide by 2.
So 33- 3 = 30.
30/2 = 15
15-3 = 12

30 and 12
This is the rule: you substract 3 from the first number, then you divide the result by 2.
