Brittany Maxwell · Answer 1

A = 1, B = 2, C = 4, D = 8, E = 16, F = 32, G = 64, H = 128 pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each column has double the previous one.

Poncho · Answer 2

In the first row, A = 1, B = 2, C = 4, D = 8, E = 16, F = 32, G = 64, H = 128

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the beginning of the sequence: 1, 2, 4, ...

We can see that each time, the number of pennies is doubled to find the next number. This means the next ones would be 4 (2) = 8; 8 (2) = 16; 16 (2) = 32; 32 (2) = 64; 64 (2) = 128
