Given the pattern:

35,000

3500

350

Identify the rule of the pattern.

Solution:

In order to identify the rule of the pattern, we simply need to divide the 2nd term by the 1st term, or take the common ratio of the values from term to term.

Common ratio = 3500/35000

Common ratio =0.1

Hence the values in the pattern are being multiplied by 0.1

Final answer:

The values are being multiplied by 0.1
