Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a grid of 5 rows and 6 columns (30 total shapes), each shaped like an 8-pointed star. Some stars have numbers inside:
- Row 1, Column 1 →
1
- Row 2, Column 2 →
8
- Row 3, Column 4 →
16
- Row 4, Column 6 →
24
- Row 5, Column 3 →
27
The instruction says: “Fill in missing numbers 1–30”
That means we need to fill all 30 stars with numbers from 1 to 30, in order — probably left to right, top to bottom, like reading a book.
Let’s test that idea.
If we go row by row, left to right:
Row 1: positions 1 to 6 → should be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
But only position 1 has “1” → matches!
Row 2: positions 7 to 12 → should be 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
Position 2 in row 2 is the 8th overall → it has “8” → matches!
Row 3: positions 13 to 18 → should be 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
Position 4 in row 3 is the 16th overall → it has “16” → matches!
Row 4: positions 19 to 24 → should be 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24
Position 6 in row 4 is the 24th overall → it has “24” → matches!
Row 5: positions 25 to 30 → should be 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30
Position 3 in row 5 is the 27th overall → it has “27” → matches!
Perfect! So the pattern is simply filling the stars in order from 1 to 30, going left to right, top to bottom.
Now let’s write out the full grid with all numbers filled in.
Row 1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Row 2: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
Row 3: 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
Row 4: 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24
Row 5: 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30
All given numbers match their correct positions. So the missing numbers are just the ones not already written.
Final Answer:
Row 1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Row 2: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
Row 3: 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
Row 4: 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24
Row 5: 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30
