Study the pattern. Give the rule for each pattern. Write the next three terms to continue the pattern. Write the answers in the blank.
Rule: The sum of the latest 3 numbers will be the next number.
Solution:
1 + 1 + 1 = 3
1 + 1 + 3 = 5
1 + 3 + 5 = 9
3 + 5 + 9 = 17
5 + 9 + 17 = 31
9 + 17 + 31 = 57
Mineral Water = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60
Packed Meals = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30
1.) Write a rule for the bottles of mineral water in terms of the packed meals. If n is the number of bottles of mineral water, then the number of packed meals is half the number of mineral water. (165)
6 + 12 + 18 + 24 + 30 + 36 + 42 + 48 + 54 + 60 = 330
3 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 21 + 24 + 27 + 30 = 165
