Answer 8

3. divide by 2

Answer 9

@KailiTooKute you are correct! Good Job!

Answer 10

:)

Answer 11

So what would the equations be? Like n = ??

Answer 12

Did I explain well enough?

Answer 13

Can the patterns be written in equation form, or will the pattern in words be best?

Answer 14

The pattern for 1, for example, would be n + 3 = p if p represented the pattern, I believe.

Answer 15

Okay

Answer 16

You would be safer writing in words, if that is okay with your teacher, because I am not completely sure if that equation is correct.

Answer 17

to find the multiples of 3, multiply 3 by 1, 3 by 2, 3 by 3, and so on. To find the multiples of 5, multiply 5 by 1, 5 by 2, 5 by 3, and so on. The multiples are the products of these multiplications..... hope that helps

Answer 18

^ That helps! Thanks!
