Why is it important to look at more than the first two numbers of a pattern to decide the rule for the pattern?

Answer:

This is important because, the first few numbers might seem to follow a pattern but subsequent numbers might reveal a change in the rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

When studying patterns it is important to evaluate all the figures holistically instead of drawing conclusions based on just the first few numbers because there might be a change in what we felt was obvious on close observance of all the numbers. For example, observe the pattern;

2,4,6, 10, 14, 18, 20, 22, 24

The first two numbers show the addition of two. If a person decides to add 2 to all the figures, he would be wrong because after the first three figures, he would have to add 4 to the numbers.

Find the distance between the two points.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Hey there!

Distance formula:

d = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})+(y_{2}-y_{1}) }$

Plug in variables:

d = $\sqrt{(0-(-6))+(0-(-7))}$

Simplify.

d = $\sqrt{6+7}$

d = $\sqrt{13}$

The distance between the two points is $\sqrt{13}$ units.

Hope this helps!

Justin has $7.50 more than Ava and Emma has $12 less than Justin. Together, they have a total of $63.00. How much money does eac

Semmy [17]

Justine > Ava > Emma
12 - 7.5 = 4.5
x + (x+4.5) +(x+12) = 3x + 16.5 = 63
63-16.3 = 56.7
56.7/ 3 = 18.9
A: Emma has $ 18.9 Ava has $23.4 Justin has $30.9

16. Carlos puts 0.3 of his monthly income into savings. What percent of his money

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

70%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert 0.3 into a percentage;

To do so, convert it 0.3 into a fraction then multiply by 100;

0.3 into a fraction = 3/10

3/10 into a percentage = $\frac{3}{10} *100$

The 10 at the bottom cancels out one zero at the top and you are left with 30.

Therefore percentage in Carlos' monthly savings is = 30%

Next, calculate the percentage NOT put in savings

percentage NOT put in savings = 100% - percentage in savings;

That is ; 100% -30% =70%

Hence, 70% of his income is not put into savings.
