24 · Sixteen plus 8 is 24, continuing the eights climb.
16 · Twelve plus 4 is 16, continuing the fours march.
20 · After 16, add 4 more: 16 + 4 = 20. Skip counting by 4 always adds 4 each time.
True · Each jump adds 100, so the numbers go 100, 200, 300, 400, and on.
48 · The eights run 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, so the sixth is 48.
250 · Counting by 50s adds 50 every jump. 250 + 50 = 300, so the missing number is 250.
200 · One hundred fifty plus 50 is 200.
False · Gail is wrong. Those hops are 50s; hundreds skipping runs 100, 200, 300.
Adding 100 each time · Each number is 100 more than the one before it: 350 to 450 to 550 to 650.
950 · Nine hops of 100 above 50 land at 950.
