Question 117749: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,........
In the sequence above what would be the 15th term?

This is the Fibonacci sequence. To find any term, you simply add the previous two terms together. For instance, to get 8, simply add 3 and 5. To get 13, add 5 and 8.

So let's find the remaining terms:
Add 8 and 13 to get 21. This is the 8th term

Add 13 and 21 to get 34. This is the 9th term

Add 21 and 34 to get 55. This is the 10th term

Add 34 and 55 to get 89. This is the 11th term

Add 55 and 89 to get 144. This is the 12th term

Add 89 and 144 to get 233. This is the 13th term

Add 144 and 233 to get 377. This is the 14th term

Add 233 and 377 to get 610. This is the 15th term

------------------
Answer:
So the 15th term is 610
