4,8,16,32,64

Write a rule for the pattern. Explain how you know the rule is correct.

Answer 1

The terms in the pattern are:

4,8,16,32,64

The rule for the pattern is given by: To skip count, You keep adding the same number each time to the previous number. ... So, starting at 0, the next number will be 0 + 2 = 2, then, 2 + 2 = 4, then 4 + 2 = 6, then 6 + 2 = 8, and then, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and so on.
