Understanding Additive and Multiplicative Reasoning

The video tutorial explains a problem involving Sue and Julie running laps at the same speed. Sue starts earlier, and the task is to determine how many laps Sue has run when Julie completes fifteen laps. The solution involves recognizing a pattern where Sue runs six more laps than Julie at any given time. This is an example of additive reasoning, where a constant value is added to determine the new quantity. The video contrasts this with multiplicative reasoning, which is not applicable in this scenario.

What is the initial condition of the race between Sue and Julie?

• Julie starts before Sue.

• Sue and Julie start at the same time.

• Sue starts after Julie.

• Sue starts before Julie.

How many laps had Sue completed when Julie had completed three laps?

• Nine laps

• Six laps

• Fifteen laps

• Twelve laps

What is the pattern used to determine the number of laps Sue has run?

• Subtract three from Julie's laps

• Multiply Julie's laps by three

• Divide Julie's laps by two

• Add six to Julie's laps

How many laps had Sue run when Julie had completed fifteen laps?

• Fifteen laps

• Twenty-four laps

• Twenty-one laps

• Eighteen laps

What type of reasoning is used to solve the problem in the scenario?

• Multiplicative reasoning

• Additive reasoning

• Subtractive reasoning

• Divisive reasoning

What is the absolute change added to Julie's laps to find Sue's laps?

• Nine

• Twelve

• Three

• Six

Why is multiplicative reasoning not suitable in this scenario?

• It involves dividing by a constant factor.

• It requires subtracting a constant value.

• It requires multiplying by a constant factor.

• It does not maintain a consistent pattern.

What would be the result if multiplicative reasoning was incorrectly applied to Julie's laps?

• The result would be inconsistent.

• The result would be more than expected.

• The result would be less than expected.

• The result would be consistent.

What is the key difference between additive and multiplicative reasoning?

• Additive reasoning involves multiplication.

• Multiplicative reasoning involves addition.

• Additive reasoning involves adding a constant value.

• Multiplicative reasoning involves subtracting a constant value.

What is the final conclusion about the reasoning used in the scenario?

• Only additive reasoning is used.

• Neither reasoning is used.

• Both additive and multiplicative reasoning are used.

• Only multiplicative reasoning is used.
