Nicole made a pattern with numbers.

27
81
243
729
?

Which statement about the next number in the pattern is true?
A.The number has 3 digits
B.The number is greater than 2000
C.The number is less than 1500
D.The number is an even number
A?

Nope. Please study the pattern again.

What is the pattern of these numbers?

27x3=81

81x3=243
243x3=729
729x3=?

Each number is x's by 3. So B?

of course

To find the next number in the pattern, we can identify the relationship between the given numbers. If we observe closely, we can see that each number in the pattern is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 3.

To find the next number, we can simply multiply the last number in the pattern (729) by 3.
729 * 3 = 2187

Now, let's evaluate the given statements and determine which one is true for the next number in the pattern:

A. The number has 3 digits - The next number, 2187, does have 4 digits, so this statement is false.
B. The number is greater than 2000 - The next number, 2187, is greater than 2000, so this statement is true.
C. The number is less than 1500 - The next number, 2187, is greater than 1500, so this statement is false.
D. The number is an even number - The next number, 2187, is an odd number, so this statement is false.

Therefore, the correct statement about the next number in the pattern is B. The number is greater than 2000.
