Answer :
A pattern that shows the number of clown wigs that were made in 5 weeks is: C. 3, 8, 12; 3, 8, 24; 3, 8, 36; 3, 8, 48; 3, 8, 60.
Since Larry produces 12 clown wigs in one 8-hour day, the number of clown wigs that he would produced in 3 days can be calculated as follows:
Number of clown wigs in 3 days = 12 clown wigs/day × 3 days
Number of clown wigs in 3 days = 36 clown wigs.
Next, we would generate a number pattern that follows the rule "Multiply by 12" as follows;
Initial number of clown wigs = 12
12 × 12 = 144
144 × 12 = 1728
1728 × 12 = 20736 ≠ 17,726.
Also, we would generate a number pattern that follows the rule "Add 12" as follows;
Initial number of clown wigs = 12
12 + 12 = 24
24 + 12 = 36
36 + 12 = 48.
48 + 12 = 60.
Therefore, the correct patttern is 3, 8, 12; 3, 8, 24; 3, 8, 36; 3, 8, 48; 3, 8, 60.
