Question: 1 / 400

What is the next number in the sequence: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16?

16

24

32

The sequence presented consists of numbers that are powers of two. Each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 2.

Starting with 1:

- 1 multiplied by 2 gives 2

- 2 multiplied by 2 gives 4

- 4 multiplied by 2 gives 8

- 8 multiplied by 2 gives 16

Following this pattern, the next number in the sequence is derived by multiplying 16 by 2, which results in 32. This consistency with the rule of doubling indicates that 32 is the appropriate next number.

Thus, the progression adheres to a mathematical operation where each term is double the preceding term, affirming that 32 is indeed the correct continuation of the sequence.
