To solve this problem, we need to follow the instructions given for coloring each scoop of ice cream based on its ordinal position (first, second, third, etc.). Then, we will observe and describe the pattern that emerges.
Let's go through the instructions step by step:
1.
Color the first scoop blue.
2.
Color the ninth scoop orange.
3.
Color the third scoop orange.
4.
Color the second scoop red.
5.
Color the fourth scoop blue.
6.
Color the eighth scoop red.
7.
Color the tenth scoop blue.
8.
Color the fifth scoop red.
9.
Color the sixth scoop orange.
10.
Color the seventh scoop blue.
Now, let's write down the colors in order from the first to the tenth scoop:
- 1st: Blue
- 2nd: Red
- 3rd: Orange
- 4th: Blue
- 5th: Red
- 6th: Orange
- 7th: Blue
- 8th: Red
- 9th: Orange
- 10th: Blue
Next, we need to identify the pattern in the sequence of colors:
Blue, Red, Orange, Blue, Red, Orange, Blue, Red, Orange, Blue
We can see that the sequence repeats every three scoops:
Blue, Red, Orange.
Final Answer:
The pattern noticed is that the colors repeat every three scoops in the order: Blue, Red, Orange.
