   Show answer

   Answer: A. 5

   Each symbol represents 5 apples. Red apples = 3 symbols * 5 apples/symbol = 15 apples. Green apples = 4 symbols * 5 apples/symbol = 20 apples. The difference is 20 - 15 = 5 green apples.

   1. 15 kg
   2. 20 kg
   3. 25 kg
   4. 35 kg

   3. 16 cm
   4. 18 cm
   Show answer

   Answer: C. 16 cm
