Question 2. The picture shows the first few squares of a hopping game. Every 4th square in the game has the same image in it. Mia is playing the game. On which of the following  squares will Mia land only on her right foot? We can see that the first right foot only square is square 4. We are also told that every 4 squares has the same image on it.  This means that every 4 squares after square 4 is a right foot only square. We can see that 4 plus 4 is 8, so that must be a right foot only square. We add 4 to that, we get  12, 16, and 20. We can see that after adding 4 a few times, we get one of the answer choices, square 20.

Video Summary

Mia is playing a hopping game where every 4th square is a "right foot only" square. Starting from square 4, which is the first "right foot only" square, each subsequent "right foot only" square can be found by adding 4 repeatedly: thus, squares 8, 12, 16, and 20 are also "right foot only" squares. Therefore, Mia will land only on her right foot on square 20.
