Question

Use inductive reasoning to find a pattern for the answers. Then use the pattern to determine the result of the final calculation.

337×27=?

A) 11,055
B) 10,566
C) 10,077
D) 9,588

Answer 1

To find the result of 337 × 27 using inductive reasoning, we can analyze the given calculations and observe a pattern. Applying the pattern, the correct answer should be 5769.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a pattern for the answers, we can use inductive reasoning to analyze the given calculations:

337 × 27 = 9119

337 × 17 = 5739

337 × 7 = 2359

From these calculations, we can observe that when the second number decreases by 10 each time, the first number increases by 3 each time. Therefore, to find the result of the final calculation (337 × 27), we can apply the same pattern. Since 27 is 10 more than 17, the result should be 5739 + 3(10) = 5739 + 30 = 5769.

So, the correct answer is not given in the options provided. The correct answer should be 5769.
