Jade throws a horseshoe toward a stake from the same starting point three different times. She tries to throw the horseshoe with the same amount of force each time. Jade measures the distance each horseshoe lands from the stake.
Which distances did Jade likely measure?
(1 point)
• 100 in., 200 in., 300 in.
• 2 in., 100 in., 120 in.
• 5 in., 25 in., 50 in.
O 11 in., 12 in., 13 in.
Jade throws the horseshoe with the same amount of force each time, so the distances that she measures are likely to be consistent and show a pattern.
The options provided are:
• 100 in., 200 in., 300 in.
• 2 in., 100 in., 120 in.
• 5 in., 25 in., 50 in.
• 11 in., 12 in., 13 in.
Out of these options, the most likely pattern is the first one: 100 in., 200 in., 300 in.
In this pattern, the distances increase by 100 inches each time, which indicates that Jade is consistently applying the same amount of force and getting consistent results.
