Help! This math problem is killing me!

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Well I took the November 4th SAT.</p>

<p>And one of the VERY first math problems was something like this:</p>

<p>In the sequence, the first number is doubled to get the second number.
(I think the example was something like 3, 6, 12, 24) How many three digit numbers are in the sequence?</p>

<p>BUT HERES THE THING: It never said when the sequence ended!!</p>

<p>I was staring at this problem for like literally 3 minutes...like...how could this be possible? It's like third problem too!</p>

<p>Well either I am an idiot or I'm going crazy OR this was a misprint.....</p>

<p>Did anyone else have this problem? And how did you solve it!?!??!?!</p>

<p>48
96
192
384

<p>3 was the answer</p>

3

<p>the sequence is assumed to be infinite</p>

4

<p>Yes the anwser is 3. </p>

<p>Any way to do that on a calculator quick? I did it but it took really long.</p>
