Relating two number patterns, step by step
Two number patterns run side by side, each from its own rule, and the question is how the two rows relate.
The question
Two rules, two patterns
row 1:6→18
row 2:12→36
row 3:18→54
row 4:24→72
row 1:6→18
row 2:12→36
row 3:18→54
row 4:24→72
row 1:6→18
row 2:12→36
row 3:18→54
row 4:24→72
- Two patterns side by side, and the question is the LINK between them — the one number that turns every left value into the one beside it.
- Read it off any complete row. Row 1: 6 on the left, 18 on the right — 18 ÷ 6 = 3.
- Check it holds down the column: 12 × 3 = 36, 18 × 3 = 54. Every bottom number is 3 times the top one, so the rule is × 3.
