Solution Answer Comment 4 of 4 |
These are numbers without an E.

2=two
4=four
6=six
30=thirty
32=thirty-two

The next 3 numbers are 34, 36, 40.

34=thirty-four
36=thirty-six
40=forty

All odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9. Then, their names will end in one, three, five, seven, or nine, unless the second-to-last digit is 1. If a number ends in 11, 13, 15, 17, or 19, then its name will end in eleven, thirteen, fifteen, seventeen, or nineteen. Therefore, there are no odd numbers in the sequence.
