The first number in a pattern is 6. The rule is to add 10.

Select the true statement.

All of the numbers in the pattern are multiples of 6.

The ones digit of each number in the pattern is 6.

The first number in the pattern is 6. Use the rule to find some more numbers in the pattern.

Start at 6 and add 10. Then, keep adding 10 to find more numbers in the pattern.

This is the pattern:

6, 16, 26, 36, …

Now, look at the first statement.

red X symbol, All of the numbers in the pattern are multiples of 6.

A number is a multiple of 6 if it is 6 times some whole number.

16 and 26 are not multiples of 6. So, the first statement is not

true.

Now, look at the second statement.

green checkmark, The ones digit of each number in the pattern is 6.

Look at the ones digit of each number you found.

16,

26,

36,

…

The ones digit is always 6.

If you keep adding 10, the ones digit will still be 6. So, the second statement is

true.
