Can someone help me complete this table?
a - 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
b - 3.8, 4.6, 5.4, _, _
I don't have any answers. I'm sorry. Is there a rule?
What is the difference between each of the numbers
4.6 - 3.8 = .8
5.4 - 4.6 = .8
we have a constant slope, straight line with slope of
.8/1 = .8
so
a - 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 , 11
b - 3.8, 4.6, 5.4, 6.2, 7.0
Yes, there seems to be a pattern or rule that we can use to complete the table. Let's take a closer look at the data:
For the first column, 'a', we have a series of consecutive numbers: 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
For the second column, 'b', we have a series of numbers that increase by 0.8. So, starting from the first number, 3.8, we can add 0.8 to each subsequent number to get the next number.
Using this rule, we can apply it to the current list to determine the missing values. Let's calculate the missing numbers:
To get the first missing value in column 'b', we can add 0.8 to the last given value, 5.4.
5.4 + 0.8 = 6.2
To get the second missing value in column 'b', we can add 0.8 to the previous result, 6.2.
6.2 + 0.8 = 7.0
Therefore, the completed table would be:
a - 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
b - 3.8, 4.6, 5.4, 6.2, 7.0
By understanding the pattern and applying the rule, we were able to complete the table.
