Let’s solve this step by step.
We are multiplying by 2, and we need to fill in the blank circles along the path of the big number “2”.
The numbers given are:
Start at
2, then → blank →
6 → blank →
10 →
12 → blank →
16 →
18 → blank
Since it’s multiplication by 2, each step should be adding 2 (because 2×1=2, 2×2=4, 2×3=6, etc.). So this is just counting up by 2s.
Let’s go step by step:
- Start at
2
- Next circle: 2 + 2 =
4
- Then we have
6 → that matches (4 + 2 = 6)
- Next blank after 6: 6 + 2 =
8
- Then we have
10 → that matches (8 + 2 = 10)
- Then
12 → that’s next (10 + 2 = 12) — already filled
- Next blank after 12: 12 + 2 =
14
- Then
16 → matches (14 + 2 = 16)
- Then
18 → matches (16 + 2 = 18)
- Last blank after 18: 18 + 2 =
20
So the missing numbers in order are:
4, 8, 14, 20
Let’s double-check the full sequence:
2 → 4 → 6 → 8 → 10 → 12 → 14 → 16 → 18 → 20
Yes! That’s counting by 2s — perfect for multiplication by 2.
Final Answer:
4, 8, 14, 20
