Question

Ana starts with 8 and counts by 5s. Her first three numbers are 8, 13, and 18. Josh starts with a whole number other than 8 and counts by a whole number other than 5. Some of his numbers are 11, 32, and 46, but he does not start with 11. 24 is not one of his numbers. What number does Josh start with?

Answer 1

Josh starts with the number 66.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number that Josh starts with, we need to look for a pattern in the numbers he counts. We notice that the numbers he counts are all multiples of 11, such as 11, 22, 33, etc. But he does not start with 11, so we need to find another multiple of 11 that is not 11 itself. Looking at the numbers he counts, we can see that 66 is the next multiple of 11 after 11. Therefore, Josh starts with the number 66.
