You would use a ruler to measure a jar because a jar is most likely smaller than 12 inches, which is the size of a ruler. All of the other tools will be much larger.

You would use a ruler to measure a bug because a bug is most likely smaller than 12 inches, which is the size of a ruler. All of the other tools will be much larger.

You would want to use a yardstick to measure a kite because a kite is most likely bigger than 12 inches, which is the length of a ruler. However, a kite is normally not bigger than 36 inches, or three feet. Measuring tape is usually used to measure much larger objects.

A door is most likely larger than what a yardstick, meter stick, and ruler could measure. A ruler can only measure up to inches, a yardstick can only measure up to feet (or inches), and a meter stick is about the same size as a yardstick. However, measuring tape can measuring up to feet, and most doors are about feet.

In the chart, grapes are shown in the last bar. That bar goes up to the number , which means there are grapes.

There are pens, pencils, and markers. is the smallest number, which means there are less pens than pencils or markers.

Pens are show in the first bar. The bar goes up to the number which means there are pens.

There are oranges and apples. To find the difference we subtract.

First you have to find the pattern between each value in the list.

You find that each number is higher than the last

.

Then you add the difference to the number before and that gives you

.

A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 and itself. 85 is immediately disqualified: any number that ends in 5 has 5 as a factor.

Pencils are show in the middle bar. The bar goes up to the number which means there are pencils.

The pattern in the set is to add three every time. The last number of the set given is 19 so add 3 and get 22. Add 3 again and get 25. Add 3 again and get 28. Thus the answer is

To find the missing number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is multiplying by three! So, to find the missing number, we need to multiply the number before the blank space by 3.

Each number is three greater than the preveious number:

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18.

The missing number is 12.

Each entry in the sequence is obtained by adding to the previous entry a number that increases by 1 each time.

To get the next entry, add 7.

This is a Fibonacci sequence.

Each number is found by adding the two numbers before it:

1+1=2

1+2=3

2+3=5

5+8=13

8+13=21

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21

The set is increasing. To figure out by how much, simply subtract any two numbers in the set, but remember to put the greater number first!

Example:

Each number in the set increases by 1.1. To find the missing part of this set, add 1.1 to the number just before the blank.

The complete set is: 1.2, 2.3, 3.4, 4.5, 5.6.

First, you must notice that the set is counting down/backwards. You can solve this problem in two ways.

1. Notice the pattern: the digits in the tens and ones place are the same and are just counting down. Using this pattern, we can guess that the next two numbers will be 33 and 22.

2. You can find the difference between any two numbers in the set. To do this, take any two numbers and subtract, but remember to put the greater number first!

The difference is 11. Each number in the set decreases by 11. To find the missing numbers, subtract 11 from the last known number.

The two missing numbers are 33 and 22.

To find the next number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is adding by fours! So, to find the next number, we need to add four more to the last number in the given sequence.
