5.18- Decimal Patterns - Fill in the Blank

What is a decimal pattern?

• A sequence of numbers where each number is a decimal and follows a specific rule or pattern.

• A random collection of decimal numbers without any specific order.

• A pattern that only includes whole numbers and fractions.

• A sequence of numbers that only includes integers.

What is the next decimal in the pattern: 5.2, 5.5, 5.8, 6.1, 6.4, 6.7, 7, _____?

• 7.0

• 7.3

• 7.5

• 7.6

What is the difference between increasing and decreasing decimal patterns?

• Increasing patterns subtract a value from each number, while decreasing patterns add a value.

• Increasing patterns add a value to each number, while decreasing patterns subtract a value.

• Increasing patterns multiply each number by a value, while decreasing patterns divide each number by a value.

• Increasing patterns remain constant, while decreasing patterns fluctuate.
