compared to giraffes giraffes. As mentioned in the problem, there are three times as many
in the sa- elephants as there are giraffes in the safari. Thus, to find how many
The correct answer is (E). If elephants there are in the safari, multiply the number of giraffes by 3:
there are 3 times as many 22 * 3 = 66
elephants as there are
giraffes, giraffes can be
defined as X, and elephants
as 3X, and build the
following equation:
3X + X = 88

E. 15 The pattern is: 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, ___
F. None of these
As you can see, the numbers that increase by 5 are bolded, and the
numbers that decrease by 2 are underlined. We are missing the seventh
number which is an odd term; therefore, it should be greater than the
last odd term (the fifth number) by 5.
The fifth number is 15. Thus, the answer is 15 + 5 = 20
