Solution

The given series is a decreasing series.

Step 1: Identify the pattern in the series. Here, each term is decreasing by a certain factor.

Step 2: Find the factor. The second term (48) is 60% of the first term (80), the third term (24) is 50% of the second term (48), and the fourth term (8) is 33.33% of the third term (24).

Step 3: Apply the pattern to find the missing term. The next term should be 33.33% of the fourth term (8).

Step 4: Calculate 33.33% of 8.

0.3333 * 8 = 2.664 ≈ 3 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

So, the missing term in the series is 3.
