The following pattern continues indefinitely:

REPEATREPEATREPEAT

1) What is the 38th letter in the pattern? Explain answer.

2) What is the 40th letter in the pattern? Explain answer.

3) What is the 604th letter in the pattern? Explain answer.

1...2...3...4...5...6

R...E...P...E...A...T

The pattern repeats every 6 letters. Divide any given number N by 6.
Multiply the decimal remainder by 6 and you will get the location of the letter in the pattern of six.

38/6 = 6.333333
.33333 x 6 = 2.
604/6 = 100.6666...
.666666 x 6 = 4

i don't get this explain please. k

To find the nth letter in the given pattern, we need to analyze the pattern and understand its repetition. Let's break it down step by step:

The pattern "REPEATREPEATREPEAT" consists of three repeating blocks, each containing the word "REPEAT."
Each block also has a 6-letter pattern: REPTEA.

Now let's answer each question:

1) What is the 38th letter in the pattern?

To find the 38th letter, we need to determine which repeating block it falls into.

Since each repeating block contains 6 letters, we divide 38 by 6: 38 ÷ 6 = 6 remainder 2.

This tells us that the 38th letter is in the 6th block, and since it has a remainder of 2, we count 2 letters from the start of the block.

In the 6th block "REPEAT", the 2nd letter is "E". Therefore, the 38th letter in the pattern is "E".

2) What is the 40th letter in the pattern?

Following a similar process as above, we divide 40 by 6: 40 ÷ 6 = 6 remainder 4.

This tells us that the 40th letter is in the 6th block, and since it has a remainder of 4, we count 4 letters from the start of the block.

In the 6th block "REPEAT", the 4th letter is "A". Therefore, the 40th letter in the pattern is "A".

3) What is the 604th letter in the pattern?

Again, we divide 604 by 6: 604 ÷ 6 = 100 remainder 4.

This tells us that the 604th letter is in the 100th block, and since it has a remainder of 4, we count 4 letters from the start of the block.

In the 100th block "REPEAT", the 4th letter is "A". Therefore, the 604th letter in the pattern is "A".

By understanding the repetition and using simple division, we can easily determine the position of any given letter in the pattern.
