Complete the pattern:

Question

2 ÷ = 1
20 ÷ = 10
200 ÷ = 100
2,000 ÷ = 1,000

Answer 1

To complete the pattern, we need to determine what the divisor is in each case that relates the two terms.

1. 2 ÷ = 1: Here, 2 divided by what gives 1? The answer is 2. So we have:

   • 2 ÷ 2 = 1

2. 20 ÷ = 10: For this case, 20 divided by what gives 10? The answer is also 2. So we have:

   • 20 ÷ 2 = 10

3. 200 ÷ = 100: Following the same logic, 200 divided by what gives 100? Again, the answer is 2. So we have:

   • 200 ÷ 2 = 100

4. 2,000 ÷ = 1,000: For this last one, 2,000 divided by what gives 1,000? Again, the answer is 2. So we have:

   • 2,000 ÷ 2 = 1,000

Thus, to complete the pattern, the divisor for each equation is consistently 2.

The completed equations are:

• 2 ÷ 2 = 1
• 20 ÷ 2 = 10
• 200 ÷ 2 = 100
• 2,000 ÷ 2 = 1,000
