300 30 3 0.3
part a answer is 0.03 0.003

part b
what is the relationship between the terms in the pattern?

Answer 1

Divided by 10 everytime

Answer 2

Part a) the next two numbers of the sequence is 0.03, 0.003

part b)

We get each successive terms, we get previous term divided by 10.

2nd term = 1st term ÷ 10

3rd term = 2nd term ÷ 10

4th term = 3rd term ÷ 10

Explanation:

The given number are 300, 30, 3, 0.3

You can see that the previous number divided by 10 to get the next number.

So the next two numbers are

0.3 ÷ 10 = 0.03

0.03 ÷10 = 0.003

Part a) the next two numbers of the sequence is 0.03, 0.003

Part b.

We get each successive terms, we get previous term divided by 10.

2nd term = 1st term ÷ 10

3rd term = 2nd term ÷ 10

4th term = 3rd term ÷ 10
