Final answer:
The pattern is a series of multiplications where each base number (104, 105, 106, 107) is multiplied by 4.78.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asked to complete the pattern by applying the given multiplication rule to a sequence of numbers. The rule in question is multiplying a base number by 4.78, progressing the base number as you go along the sequence. So, the pattern is as follows:
- 104 X 4.78
- 105 X 4.78
- 106 X 4.78
- 107 X 4.78
As we can see, as the base number increases by 1, the new product is calculated. For each step (A-D), you multiply the given base number by 4.78 to find the next number in the pattern.
