1st stage ●
2nd stage ○○○
3rd stage ●●●●●
4th stage ○○○○○○○

(1) How many stones will be in total when arranging up to the 8th row?

(2) What is the difference in the number of black stones and white stones when arranging up to the 10th row?

(3) The difference in the number of black stones and white stones is 66 when they are lined up.

Arithmetic answer

(1) 64 pieces, (2) 10 pieces, (3) 66th stage

<Explanation>

(1) 1 + 2 x (8-1) = 15 (1 + 15) x 8 ÷ 2 = 64

(2) 1 + 4 x (10-1) = 37 (1 + 37) x 10 ÷ 2 = 190

3 + 4 x (10-1) = 39 (1 + 39) x 10 ÷ 2 = 200200-190 = 10

(3) At the first stage, the difference is 1. At the second stage, the difference is 2 ...

Therefore, the difference that can be made when one step is increased is one.

Therefore, when the difference is 66, it is when the 66th row is lined up.
