When James was walking down the street, he read the numbers written on the houses that were to his left. The number of houses was as follows:
25 27 29 31
What would the number written on the fifth house be?
a. 26
b. 28
c. 33
d. 38
Answer: c
Explanation:
The houses are all numbered with odd numbers. A 2 is added to each house number to come up with the next one. Therefore the first is 25. The second will be 25 + 2 = 27 and so on. To find out what the fifth house will be add 2 to the number of the fourth house as follows:
31 + 2 = 33
