Answer: 112
Explanation:
The sequence we have is:
[tex]7,14,28,56[/tex]We can see that the numbers are all multiples of 7:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7\times1=7 \\ 7\times2=14 \\ 7\times4=28 \\ 7\times8=56 \end{gathered}[/tex]In each step, the number we multiply 7 by, doubles.
So the next number must be 7 multiplied by double of 8 which is 16:
[tex]7\times16=112[/tex]Another way to see this sequence is that each number is twice the previous number:
14 is twice 7
28 is twice 14
56 is twice 28
So the next number must be twice 56:
[tex]56\times2=112[/tex]In any case, the next number is 112
