Question

louise skip counts by 4 on a number line to find 5 x 4 how many jumps should she draw in the number line

Answer 1

Answer:

It depends:

• 4 if she starts at 4
• 5 if she starts at 0

Explanation:

Louise needs to end up a total of 5 times 4 away from zero.

If she starts at 4, which is 1 times 4, then she needs to jump 4 more times, to 2, 3, 4, 5 times 4.

If she starts at 0, then she needs to jump 5 times to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 times 4. (The values at the end of each jump will be {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}.)
