the first number in a pattern is 8. each number in the pattern is one fourth the previous number. which of the following numbers is part of the pattern?
a) 1/64
b) 1/16
c) 1/4
d) 2
e) 4

Respuesta :

Given the first term of the pattern is 8 and each number in the pattern is one fourth the previous number.

So, first term: a=8 and

Second term= [tex] \frac{1}{4} *8 [/tex]= 2

Third term=[tex] \frac{1}{4} *2 [/tex]=[tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

Fourth term= [tex] \frac{1}{4} *\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{8} [/tex]

So, only 2 is the part of the given pattern.
