Question

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

Answer 1

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=
`(1)/(4) *8`= 2

Third term=
`(1)/(4) *2`=
`(1)/(2)`

Fourth term=
`(1)/(4) *(1)/(2) =(1)/(8)`

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