A-2
B1
C-1
D0
Show answer
Answer: C) -1
0 + 4 = 4; 4 - 7 = -3; -3 + 2 = -1. The ant stops at -1.
5. Priya marks four integers on a number line so that consecutive ones are equally spaced (an equal number of steps apart). The first is -9 and the last (fourth) is 6. What is the common step size between consecutive marks?
A5
B10
C4
D6
Show answer
Answer: A) 5
From -9 to 6 the total distance is 6 - (-9) = 15, split over 3 equal gaps (4 marks make 3 gaps): 315=5.
