Question

Eric is studying two number patterns. Pattern A starts at 0 and has the rule "add 6." Pattern B starts at 0 and has the rule "add 3." What is the relationship between corresponding terms in the two patterns?

The terms in Pattern B are 3 times the corresponding terms in Pattern A.
The terms in Pattern B are 2 times the corresponding terms in Pattern A.
The terms in Pattern B are one third the corresponding terms in Pattern A.
The terms in Pattern B are one half the corresponding terms in Pattern A.

Answer 1

D) The terms in Pattern B are one half the corresponding terms in Pattern A.

Explanation:

Pattern A | Pattern B

0 divided by 1/2 = 0

6 divided by 1/2 = 3

12 divided by 1/2 = 6

18 divided by 1/2 = 9

24 divided by 1/2 = 12
