Question

What is the completed pattern for 0, 0.3, 3, 30?

A. 0.003
B. 0.03
C. 0.3
D. 3

Answer 1

The sequence increases by a factor of 10 for each term; therefore, after multiplying 30 by 10, the next term in the sequence is 300.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence 0, 0.3, 3, 30 shows that each term is multiplied by 10 to get the next term. So, starting from 0 and moving to 0.3, we multiply by 10. Continuing this pattern, 0.3 × 10 equals 3, and then 3 × 10 equals 30. Following the same pattern, to find the next term after 30, we would again multiply by 10.

The completed pattern would be:

• 0 × 10 = 0
• 0.3 × 10 = 3
• 3 × 10 = 30
• 30 × 10 = 300

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option D. 3 (interpreted as 300).
