Answer:
8 -> 24 -> 12 -> 36 -> 17 -> 54 -> 27
Looking at the series, we can see that the pattern alternates between multiplying by 3 and dividing by 2.
8 * 3 = 24
24 / 2 = 12
12 * 3 = 36
36 / 2 = 18
(Note: There seems to be an error in the series provided, as 36 divided by 2 should be 18, not 17)
[tex]18 * 3 = 54[/tex]
[tex]54 / 2 = 27[/tex]
Following the pattern, the next number after 27 would be:
[tex]27 * 3 = \boxed{ 81}[/tex]
Therefore, the next number in the series is 81.
