50 is to 10 as 40 is to ____ .
A 9
B 10
C 7
D 0
E 8
Correct answer: E — 8
- Compare 50 and 10: 50 ÷ 5 = 10.
- The rule is ÷5.
- 40 ÷ 5 = 8.
- Why the other options are wrong:
- A (9): This is the correct answer (8) plus 1: an extra 1 was added at the end of the calculation (an off-by-1 error).
- B (10): Divide by exactly 5.
- C (7): This is the correct answer (8) minus 1: 1 was taken off at the end of the calculation (an off-by-1 error).
- D (0): The first pair divides; the gap isn't fixed.
A pair can shrink by a fixed factor: look for division as well as subtraction.
