Find the rule from the table below:
-
A
Subtract 2
-
B
Subtract 5
The correct answer is "Subtract 2".
Please Note:
Subtraction is the operation that decreases a number by taking away from it.
Solution:
To find the correct rule, we consider the given table.
We observe that the given rule makes each number decrease. This implies subtraction.
We try subtracting 2 from each input number:
3 - 2 = 1
8 - 2 = 6
6 - 2 = 4
2 - 2 = 0
On subtracting 2 from the input numbers, we get the corresponding output numbers.
So, the rule is “subtract 2”.
