Jaylo: I am thinking of a plus 2 pattern, so it continues 10, 12, 14, 16, ....
Yaseen; I am thinking of a repeating pattern, so it continues 2, 4, 6, 8, 2, 4, 6, 8, ...
Elijah: I am thinking of the units digits in the multiples of two, so it continues 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, ....
a. Are each of these valid responses?
Yes
b. What is the hundredth number in the sequence in Jayla's scenario? Yaseen's? Elijah's?
