Question

What is the fourth number in this pattern, and what is the rule?

Answer 1

To find the common difference (rate or slope) we can divide the 2nd term to the 1st term.

54.2 / 5.42 = 10 (rule)

Since the common difference is the same throughout the sequence, we can name this as a "arithmetic sequence".

We can multiply 10 to 542 to find the 4th term: 542 * 10 = 5,420
