• A. 5s
• B. 1s
• C. 10s
• D. 2s

Answer 1

The correct option is A 5s

Say: Let us identify how the given numbers are being skip counted.

Steps:
$\bullet$ The given numbers are $22,27,32,37,42,47,52,57.$
$\bullet$ We can see that the numbers are arranged in increasing order, and that we are adding the same number to each number to get the next number.
$\bullet$ Here, we can add 5 to 22, i.e., 22 + 5 = 27 to get the next number.
$\bullet$ If we add 5 to 27, i.e., 27 + 5 = 32, we again get the next number.
$\bullet$ So, we find that the given numbers are being skip counted by 5s.
$\bullet$ Hence, option C is the correct answer.

WB: If required, use the whiteboard to and write to numbers to show the number skip counted by as shown.
