Answer 1

Let's go through each of the problems and their answers:

1. **Pattern Recognition:** The sequence is doubling with each step:
- 2 (2^1), 4 (2^2), 8 (2^3), 16 (2^4).
The next number is 32 (2^5).

**Answer: 32**

2. **Analogies:** A hand is to a glove as a foot is to a sock.

**Answer: sock**

3. **Mathematics:** The train travels 60 miles in 1 hour. Therefore, in 4 hours, it will travel:
- 60 miles/hour * 4 hours = 240 miles.

**Answer: 240**

4. **Logical Reasoning:** If the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball, let the cost of the ball be x. Then the bat costs x + $1.00. Together they cost $1.10:
- x + (x + 1) = 1.10
- 2x + 1 = 1.10
- 2x = 0.10
- x = 0.05 (which is 5 cents).

Since the correct interpretation is that the ball costs 10 cents, the bat would then logically be 1.10.

**Correct Interpretation Answer: 10 cents**

5. **Word Problem:** If you take away 2 apples from 3, you have taken 2 apples, so you have 2 apples.

**Answer: 2**

To summarize:

1. 32
2. sock
3. 240
4. 10 cents
5. 2
