Question

TIMED*** There are 8 rows and 8 columns, or 64 squares on a chessboard. Suppose you place 1 penny on Row 1 Column A, 2 pennies on Row 1 Column B, 4 pennies on Row 1 Column C, and so on … How many pennies are on each square? A =   B =   C = D =   E =   F = G =   H =

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 1, B = 2, C = 4, D = 8, E = 16, F = 32, G = 64, H = 128 pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each column has double the previous one.

Answer 2

Answer:

In the first row, A = 1, B = 2, C = 4, D = 8, E = 16, F= 32, G = 64, H = 128

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the beginning of the sequence:  1, 2, 4, ...

We can see that each time, the number of pennies is doubled to find the next number.  This means the next ones would be 4(2) = 8; 8(2) = 16; 16(2) = 32; 32(2) = 64; 64(2) = 128
