Question

Two of the gift packets are yellow. One of the yellow packets is the sixth from the left, the other packet is the eighth from the right. Between the two yellow gift packets there are three differently colored packages. How many presents are at least on the shelf?

Answer 1

Answer:

17 packets.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the yellow packets is the sixth from the left, then there are 5 packets before it.

The other packet is the eighth from the right, then there are 7 packets behind it.

Between the two yellow gift packets there are three differently colored packages.

Now count all packets:

5 + 1 (1st yellow) + 3 + 1 (2nd yellow) + 7 = 17 packets.
