I’m not sure what the rule would be in this context, but those are just the squares of decreasing numbers starting at 10. It’s 10^2, then 9^2, then 8^2, and so on.
Hey there,
Your question states: <span>A store charges $2.10 for a medium bag of fruit slices. Assuming that the rate stays the same, how much should the store charge for a large bag of the slices?
So sense this is a medium bad of fruit slices, we would divide 2.10 by 2.
Your answer would be 1.5 Now, all we do is we add 2.10+1.5 and we get 3.15. The reason would be because sense we now know the price of the size of it being small, we just add that size on top of the medium size to get 3.15.
Hope this helps.

Hi! I'm happy to help!
Our town is composed of 2,000 people. Of those 2,000 people, 4/5 of them are middle class. The word 'of' usually means multiplication when it is in a word problem. So, we will multiply 2,000 by 4/5. When multiplying a whole number, we just multiply it by the numerator (top) and leave the denominator. (bottom)
2,000×4
8,000
8,000/5
Fractions are just a different way of putting division, so we can change this to a division problem:
8,000÷5=
1,600
1,600 of the people are middle class.
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
