find the missing numbers
1562 ----- ----- ---- ------ ----- 1874. they are number lines
I'm not sure I know what the question is asking.
I'm guessing you have to fill in the numbers equal in distance all the wat between 1562 and 1874.
There are five numbers missing, so there are six gaps between.
What size must a gap be?
Well, there are 6 gaps of equal size between 1562 and 1874. So if 6 gaps make up the difference between them, then what size is one gap?
Subtract 1562 from 1874 to get the total for all 6 gaps. Then divide your answer by 6 (it divides evenly, so that's a good sign!)
Now add the size of one gap to 1562. Then add another gap to that, and so on. If you've done it all right, you will reach 1874 at the other end!
