Numerical analogies

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. In this addition analogy, 1 is to 9 as 7 is to ____.
15
The rule adds 8 (1 + 8 = 9), so 7 + 8 = 15.
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 15 as 13 is to ____.
19
The rule adds 6 (9 + 6 = 15), so 13 + 6 = 19.
6. In this addition analogy, 5 is to 19 as 13 is to ____.
27
The rule adds 14 (5 + 14 = 19), so 13 + 14 = 27.
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 13 as 6 is to ____.
16
The rule adds 10 (3 + 10 = 13), so 6 + 10 = 16.
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 12 as 20 is to ____.
24
The rule adds 4 (8 + 4 = 12), so 20 + 4 = 24.
12. In this addition analogy, 13 is to 23 as 17 is to ____.
27
The rule adds 10 (13 + 10 = 23), so 17 + 10 = 27.
