Complete the pattern: \( \begin{array}{l}960.4 \div \square=96.04 \\ 9,604 \div \square=96.04 \\ 96,040 \div \square=96.04 \\ 9,604,000 \div \square=96.04\end{array} \)

To complete the pattern, we need to determine the denominators (\(\square\)) that satisfy each equation so that the result is \(96.04\). Let's analyze each equation: 1. **First Equation:** \[ 960.4 \div \square = 96.04 \] To find \(\square\): \[ \square = \frac{960.4}{96.04} = 10 \] 2. **Second Equation:** \[ 9,604 \div \square = 96.04 \] To find \(\square\): \[ \square = \frac{9,604}{96.04} = 100 \] 3. **Third Equation:** \[ 96,040 \div \square = 96.04 \] To find \(\square\): \[ \square = \frac{96,040}{96.04} = 1,000 \] 4. **Fourth Equation:** \[ 9,604,000 \div \square = 96.04 \] To find \(\square\): \[ \square = \frac{9,604,000}{96.04} = 100,000 \] **Pattern Observation:** - The denominators are increasing by factors of 10 each time: - \(10\), \(100\), \(1,000\), \(100,000\) **Completed Pattern:** \[ \begin{array}{l} 960.4 \div 10 = 96.04 \\ 9,604 \div 100 = 96.04 \\ 96,040 \div 1,000 = 96.04 \\ 9,604,000 \div 100,000 = 96.04 \end{array} \]
