SUMMARY
The next number in the pattern 6, 4, 3, 12/5 is definitively 2. The pattern involves a systematic reduction where each number is diminished by a fraction that increases sequentially: 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, and 1/6. The deduction process shows that starting from 30, each subsequent number is derived by reducing the previous number by the next fraction in the series. This leads to the conclusion that after 12/5, the next logical number is 2.
