Question

Which of the following statements is true about the number of pennies in each row?

1) The number of pennies doubles each time
2) The count grows exponentially
3) The number of pennies on rows 5-8 will be much greater than on rows 1-4
4) Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The number of pennies in each row doubles each time.The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of pennies in each row follows a pattern where it doubles each time. This means that the number of pennies in row 2 is twice the number in row 1, the number in row 3 is twice the number in row 2, and so on.

For example, if row 1 has 1 penny, then row 2 will have 2 pennies, row 3 will have 4 pennies, row 4 will have 8 pennies, and so on.

Therefore, statement 1) The number of pennies doubles each time is true.
