What is the first step in identifying a pattern in a sequence?

• Convert all fractions to decimals

• Add 1 to each term

• Multiply all terms by 2

• Write the terms as equivalent fractions with a common denominator

What is the rule used to extend the sequence in the chili powder problem?

• Subtract 1 and 2/6

• Add 1 and 2/6

• Add 1 and 1/2

• 10 and 1/6 oz

• 11 and 1/6 oz

• 12 and 1/6 oz

What indicates that a sequence is decreasing?

• The terms remain constant

• The terms are getting smaller

• The terms alternate between increasing and decreasing

• The terms are getting larger

What operation is used to describe a sequence that decreases?

• Addition

• Multiplication

• Division

• Subtraction

What is the rule for the decreasing sequence discussed in the lesson?

• Add 3/16

• Subtract 1/4

• Add 1/4

How do you find the unknown terms in a decreasing sequence?

• Add the rule to each term

• Divide each term by 2

• Subtract the rule from each term

• Multiply each term by 2

What is the equivalent fraction of 1/4 when using a denominator of 16?

• 4/16
