SSAT Elementary Level Quantitative › How to find the answer from a table
Ants | Body Parts | Legs |
---|---|---|
1 | 3 | 6 |
2 | 6 | 12 |
3 | 9 | 18 |
4 | 12 | ? |
Use the table to answer the question. If 4 ants have 12 body parts, how many body parts do 6 ants have?
Use the first row in the table to determine how many body parts 1 ant has. Since 1 ant has 3 body parts, you will need to multiply 6(ants) by 3(body parts).
6 ants have 18 body parts.
Another way to solve would be to add up the body parts of each of the six ants.
