Question

joe and mark each make a number pattern joe starts with 18 and uses the rule add 3 mark starts with 28 and uses the rule 3 which statement about corresponding terms in the pattern is true Each term in marks pattern is 3 more than the corresponding term in joes pattern? each term in marks pattern is 10 more than the corresponding term in joes pattern ? (C) the difference between a term in marks pattern and the corresponding term in joes patter is always a multiple of 4 ? D) the difference between a term in marks pattern and the corresponding term in joes pattern is always a multiple of 5?

Answer 1

Each term in marks pattern is 10 more than the corresponding term in joes pattern

Explanation:

Given

Joe

`Start = 18`

`Additional = 3`

Mark

`Start = 28`

`Additional = 3`

Required

Determine which option answers the question

From the question, we have that Mark and Joe have the same additional rule of increment.

This implies that, the difference of each term is the same as the difference of the starting number of both:

Since Mark started at a higher number than Joe, the difference can be said to be.

`Difference = Start_(Mark) - Start_(Joe)`

`Difference = 28 -18`

`Difference = 10`

Hence:

Option B answers the question
