Jacob had some candy to give to his five children. He first took six pieces for himself and then evenly divided the rest among his children. Each child received three pieces. With how many pieces did he start?

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if each of his 5 children got 3, then there were 15 candies before he divided them. And to get before he took 6 candies for himself, add 6 to 15 to get 21

P.S. Jacob is greedy. He took a lot of candy

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512
