You can find a construction rule for any number. There are no unambiguous answers. Example:

Answer: ##87##
Reason: ##.\overline{1}^{-2}+3!=87##

I gave you an example how to produce the number ##87## by a construction rule that only used the three numbers ##\{1,2,3\}.## Isn't that absurd? You can create a lot of numbers from three given ones.

There is either an explanation about that specific arrangement with four numbers that you haven't told us or it is a worthless and meaningless exercise. You could write down any number in the empty fields and construct a rule afterward.

It has to be the same one rule for the three examples on top, I guess. Then the same rule should be applied in the other twelve.

Before we keep guessing, and with respect to the fact that the OP didn't try to help himself or us, I will close this thread.

FAQ: Quantitative reasoning problem

What is quantitative reasoning?

Quantitative reasoning is the ability to use mathematical concepts and skills to solve real-world problems. It involves understanding and analyzing numerical data, recognizing patterns, making logical arguments, and applying mathematical techniques to arrive at solutions.

Why is quantitative reasoning important?

Quantitative reasoning is crucial because it enables individuals to make informed decisions based on numerical data. It is essential in various fields such as science, engineering, economics, and everyday life, where interpreting and manipulating numbers is necessary for problem-solving and decision-making.

How can I improve my quantitative reasoning skills?

Improving quantitative reasoning skills involves practice and familiarity with mathematical concepts. Engaging in activities such as solving puzzles, analyzing data sets, practicing mathematical problems, and applying math in real-life situations can help. Additionally, taking courses in mathematics, statistics, and related subjects can enhance these skills.

What types of problems are considered quantitative reasoning problems?

Quantitative reasoning problems encompass a wide range of scenarios that require mathematical analysis. These can include algebraic equations, statistical data interpretation, probability calculations, geometric problems, and logical reasoning tasks. They often involve real-world contexts such as finance, engineering, and science.

How is quantitative reasoning assessed?

Quantitative reasoning is typically assessed through standardized tests, coursework, and practical applications. Assessments may include multiple-choice questions, problem-solving tasks, data interpretation exercises, and mathematical modeling. These evaluations aim to measure an individual's ability to understand and apply quantitative concepts effectively.
