I don't see the two patterns — could you paste the lists or upload the image?

Meanwhile, here is how to find the missing number:

1. Identify a pair of corresponding terms (same position in each pattern), e.g. A1 with B1.
2. Compute the ratio k = (term from A) ÷ (term from B).
3. Check the same k for another pair to confirm it's constant.
4. If constant, the sentence becomes: "The corresponding terms in pattern A are k times the corresponding terms in pattern B."

Example: if pattern A is 6, 12, 18 and pattern B is 2, 4, 6, then k = 6÷2 = 3 (and 12÷4 = 3, 18÷6 = 3), so "are 3 times".

Send the actual patterns and I’ll compute k for you.
