Numerical analogies

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. In this addition analogy, 4 is to 11 as 15 is to ____.
22
The rule adds 7 (4 + 7 = 11), so 15 + 7 = 22.
2. In this addition analogy, 12 is to 22 as 15 is to ____.
25
The rule adds 10 (12 + 10 = 22), so 15 + 10 = 25.
3. In this multiplication analogy, 2 is to 6 as 3 is to ____.
9
The rule multiplies by 3 (2 × 3 = 6), so 3 × 3 = 9.
4. In this addition analogy, 10 is to 25 as 17 is to ____.
32
The rule adds 15 (10 + 15 = 25), so 17 + 15 = 32.
5. In this multiplication analogy, 2 is to 8 as 4 is to ____.
16
The rule multiplies by 4 (2 × 4 = 8), so 4 × 4 = 16.
6. In this addition analogy, 12 is to 21 as 20 is to ____.
29
The rule adds 9 (12 + 9 = 21), so 20 + 9 = 29.
7. In this multiplication analogy, 9 is to 27 as 12 is to ____.
36
The rule multiplies by 3 (9 × 3 = 27), so 12 × 3 = 36.
8. In this addition analogy, 7 is to 17 as 15 is to ____.
25
The rule adds 10 (7 + 10 = 17), so 15 + 10 = 25.
9. In this addition analogy, 15 is to 30 as 17 is to ____.
32
The rule adds 15 (15 + 15 = 30), so 17 + 15 = 32.
10. In this addition analogy, 13 is to 20 as 18 is to ____.
25
The rule adds 7 (13 + 7 = 20), so 18 + 7 = 25.
11. In this multiplication analogy, 7 is to 28 as 11 is to ____.
44
The rule multiplies by 4 (7 × 4 = 28), so 11 × 4 = 44.
12. In this multiplication analogy, 9 is to 27 as 13 is to ____.
39
The rule multiplies by 3 (9 × 3 = 27), so 13 × 3 = 39.
