Rashid and Megan make 8 costumes for the play. Each costume needs 5 felt patches. How can Rashid and Megan use a table to find out how many patches they need? Draw a table to solve. Then describe the pattern in the table.

Rashid and Megan need 40 felt patches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a table with number of costumes in the first row and the number of felt patches in the second row.

Note that for 1 costume, 5 felt patches are needed.

For 2 costumes, 10 felt patches are needed

For 3 costumes, 15 felt patches are needed and so o.

So, the pattern in the table is whenever there is 1 increase in the costumes, there are 5 numbers increase in felt patches.

From the table, we can easily identify that the 8 costumes need 40 felt patches.

Hence, Rashid and Megan need 40 felt patches.
