The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer is: Every number in the pattern will have a 0 or a 5 in its ones place.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a step-by-step explanation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem asks us to complete a number pattern and then determine which of the given statements about the pattern is true. The rule for the pattern is “divide by 2”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, let’s find the two missing numbers. The pattern starts with 800, 400, 200, 100.
To find the next number, we take the last number, 100, and apply the rule:
100 \u00f7 2 = 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, to find the second missing number, we take our new last number, 50, and apply the rule again:
50 \u00f7 2 = 25<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the complete pattern is: 800, 400, 200, 100, 50, 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we must evaluate each statement using this complete pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statement 1: Every number in the pattern will have a 0 in its ones place.<\/strong>
Let’s check the ones place for each number:
800<\/strong>, 400<\/strong>, 200<\/strong>, 100<\/strong>, 50<\/strong>, 25<\/strong>
The number 25 has a 5 in its ones place, not a 0. Therefore, this statement is false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statement 2: Every number in the pattern will have a 0 or a 5 in its ones place.<\/strong>
Let’s check the ones place again:
800<\/strong> (ends in 0)
400<\/strong> (ends in 0)
200<\/strong> (ends in 0)
100<\/strong> (ends in 0)
50<\/strong> (ends in 0)
25<\/strong> (ends in 5)
All the numbers in the pattern end in either a 0 or a 5. This statement is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statement 3: Every number in the pattern will have a 0 in its tens place.<\/strong>
Let’s check the tens place for each number:
80<\/strong>0, 40<\/strong>0, 20<\/strong>0, 10<\/strong>0, 5<\/strong>0, 2<\/strong>5
The number 50 has a 5 in its tens place, and the number 25 has a 2 in its tens place. Since not all numbers have a 0 in the tens place, this statement is false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statement 4: Every number in the pattern will have a 0 or a 5 in its tens place.<\/strong>
Let’s check the tens place again:
80<\/strong>0, 40<\/strong>0, 20<\/strong>0, 10<\/strong>0, 5<\/strong>0, 2<\/strong>5
The number 25 has a 2 in its tens place, which is not a 0 or a 5. Therefore, this statement is false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only statement that is true for every number in the completed pattern is the second one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
