Question 28 of 48intermediate🔍 AnalyzeShort Answer2 marks

Toto does not take jumps of the same size and still reaches 18 in 6 jumps. How did Toto jump?

Correct Answer

Toto could have taken jumps of different sizes that add up to 18.

Example 1: Jumps of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 3 Sum = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 3 = 18

Example 2: Jumps of 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 4 Sum = 2 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 18

Example 3: Jumps of 1, 1, 1, 5, 5, 5 Sum = 1 + 1 + 1 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 18

∴ Many combinations are possible.
