Question

Two numerical patterns are shown below: Pattern A: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 Pattern B: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 Select the statement that describes the numerical patterns. The terms in Pattern B are one half the value of the corresponding terms in Pattern A. The terms in Pattern A are one half the value of the corresponding terms in Pattern B. The rule for Pattern B is "multiply by 4." The rule for Pattern A is "multiply by 2."

Answer 1

Answer:

The statement that best describes the numerical patterns is;

The rule for mapping Pattern A to Pattern B is "multiply by 2"

Step-by-step explanation:

The given two numerical patterns are;

Pattern A: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20

Pattern B: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40

Therefore;

The ratio of the corresponding terms of Pattern B and A are;

8/4 = 16/8 = 24/12 = 32/16 = 40/20 = 2

We multiply a value in pattern A by 2 to obtain a corresponding value in Pattern B

Therefore the rule for mapping Pattern A to Pattern B is "multiply by 2".
