    15 kids will fit on the 6th pew. I counted by 2's without my using my figures. The fourth pew has 11 kids, the fifth pew has 13 kids, and the sixth pew has 15 kids. Haleigh

    Hi Ms. G, Devon's answer to #5 - The 6th pew has 15 kids. I know because I drew the kids. They skipped the 4th, 5th, and 6th and they are going by two's , so I added 9+2=11 and 11+2=13 and last I added 13+2=15 and that's my answer

    The 6th pew has 15 kids in there. I know that because I drew a picture graph of it.9+2 =11 and 11+2=13 13+2=15.That is how I got my answer 15 kids.

    Ms.G counted 15 kids in the 6th row. I know because I used the line plot and added 2 to all of the numbers.

    There will be 15 kids in the 6 pew. Pattern counting by 2. Did a line plot started at 5 and added 2, then got 7 added 2 then got 9. Added 2 then got 11, added 2 then got 13 and added 2 , to get 15.
