Is there a pattern in the given numbers? If not, change the numbers to create a pattern. Also, extend it. 100, 90, 80, 70, 60
Step 1: Check if there's a pattern 100 - 90 = 10 90 - 80 = 10 80 - 70 = 10 70 - 60 = 10
Step 2: Identify the pattern The pattern is decreasing by 10 (backward skip counting by 10)
Step 3: Extend the pattern 60 - 10 = 50 50 - 10 = 40 40 - 10 = 30 30 - 10 = 20 20 - 10 = 10
Answer: Yes, there is a pattern. The extended pattern is: 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10
Explanation
The given numbers follow a clear pattern of decreasing by 10 each time. This is backward skip counting by 10. The pattern can be extended by continuing to subtract 10: 60-10=50, 50-10=40, 40-10=30, 30-10=20, 20-10=10.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Check if there's a pattern: 100-90=10, 90-80=10, 80-70=10, 70-60=10
Step 2: Yes, the pattern is decreasing by 10
Step 3: Extend: 60-10=50, 50-10=40, 40-10=30, 30-10=20, 20-10=10
