Let me work through each pattern step by step to identify the multiplication or division rule.
Pattern 1: 2 → 4 → 8 → 16 → 32 → 64
- 2 × 2 = 4 ✓
- 4 × 2 = 8 ✓
- 8 × 2 = 16 ✓
- 16 × 2 = 32 ✓
- 32 × 2 = 64 ✓
- Rule: Multiply by 2
Pattern 2: 160 → 80 → 40 → 20 → 10 → 5
- 160 ÷ 2 = 80 ✓
- 80 ÷ 2 = 40 ✓
- 40 ÷ 2 = 20 ✓
- 20 ÷ 2 = 10 ✓
- 10 ÷ 2 = 5 ✓
- Rule: Divide by 2
Pattern 3: 1 → 3 → 9 → 27 → 81 → 243
- 1 × 3 = 3 ✓
- 3 × 3 = 9 ✓
- 9 × 3 = 27 ✓
- 27 × 3 = 81 ✓
- 81 × 3 = 243 ✓
- Rule: Multiply by 3
Pattern 4: 32 → 16 → 8 → 4 → 2 → 1
- 32 ÷ 2 = 16 ✓
- 16 ÷ 2 = 8 ✓
- 8 ÷ 2 = 4 ✓
- 4 ÷ 2 = 2 ✓
- 2 ÷ 2 = 1 ✓
- Rule: Divide by 2
Pattern 5: 1 → 5 → 25 → 125 → 625 → 3125
- 1 × 5 = 5 ✓
- 5 × 5 = 25 ✓
- 25 × 5 = 125 ✓
- 125 × 5 = 625 ✓
- 625 × 5 = 3125 ✓
- Rule: Multiply by 5
Final Answer:
1. ×2
2. ÷2
3. ×3
4. ÷2
5. ×5
