Answer 1

Answer:

B) 256

Step-by-step explanation:

You are doubling the amount of boxes there are each time:

Pattern 1: 1 box

Pattern 2: 2 boxes

Pattern 3: 4 boxes

Pattern 4: 8 boxes

Pattern 5: 16 boxes

Pattern 6: 32 boxes

Pattern 7: 64 boxes.

Each box takes 4 matches to create. There are 64 boxes in total by the 7th pattern. Multiply 4 with 64:

64 x 4 = 256

B) 256 matches is your answer.
