Answer:
1. C
2. D
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
Pattern A is adding by 2's (1 -> 3, 4 -> 6, 7 -> 9 and so on).
Pattern B is multiplying by 2's (2 -> 4, 3 -> 6, 4 -> 8 and so on).
2.
If 0.25 gallons of paint = 24 ft^2, then 1 gallon will equal?
Set up an equation:
Variable x = area of ft^2 for 1 gallon of paint
0.25/24 = 1/x
Cross multiply
0.25 × x = 24 × 1
0.25x = 24
To make calculations easier, you can convert the decimal into a fraction: 0.25 = 1/4
1/4x = 24
Multiply both sides by 4
1x = 96
x = 96 ft^2
Check your work:
0.25/24 = 1/96
0.25 × 96 = 24 × 1
24 = 24
Correct
