Numerical analogies

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. In this addition analogy, 1 is to 5 as 7 is to ____.
11
The rule adds 4 (1 + 4 = 5), so 7 + 4 = 11.
2. In this multiplication analogy, 6 is to 30 as 14 is to ____.
70
The rule multiplies by 5 (6 × 5 = 30), so 14 × 5 = 70.
3. In this multiplication analogy, 8 is to 16 as 17 is to ____.
34
The rule multiplies by 2 (8 × 2 = 16), so 17 × 2 = 34.
4. In this multiplication analogy, 3 is to 12 as 9 is to ____.
36
The rule multiplies by 4 (3 × 4 = 12), so 9 × 4 = 36.
5. In this addition analogy, 9 is to 12 as 13 is to ____.
16
The rule adds 3 (9 + 3 = 12), so 13 + 3 = 16.
6. In this addition analogy, 5 is to 13 as 13 is to ____.
21
The rule adds 8 (5 + 8 = 13), so 13 + 8 = 21.
7. In this multiplication analogy, 7 is to 28 as 10 is to ____.
40
The rule multiplies by 4 (7 × 4 = 28), so 10 × 4 = 40.
8. In this multiplication analogy, 4 is to 16 as 13 is to ____.
52
The rule multiplies by 4 (4 × 4 = 16), so 13 × 4 = 52.
9. In this addition analogy, 3 is to 8 as 6 is to ____.
11
The rule adds 5 (3 + 5 = 8), so 6 + 5 = 11.
10. In this multiplication analogy, 7 is to 35 as 9 is to ____.
45
The rule multiplies by 5 (7 × 5 = 35), so 9 × 5 = 45.
11. In this addition analogy, 8 is to 10 as 20 is to ____.
22
The rule adds 2 (8 + 2 = 10), so 20 + 2 = 22.
12. In this addition analogy, 13 is to 19 as 17 is to ____.
23
The rule adds 6 (13 + 6 = 19), so 17 + 6 = 23.
