Question

Complete the pattern:

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
