B. 2,4,5,7
C. 7,9,13,16
D. 9, 12, 14, 20

Answer 1

Answer


B. 2,4,5,7

6 x 2 = 12
6 x 4 = 24
6 x 5 = 30
6 x 7 = 42

Answer 2

B. 2, 4, 5, 7

Explanation:

6x<48

Divide by 6 on both sides:

x < 8 (excluding 8)

You can test values greater than 8, and if it yields false, then try different numbers.

Hope this helps!
