Directions: Use the information below to answer the question.
Five storage bins J, K, L, M, and N are arranged vertically, with one bin directly above another. Each bin holds a different snack: crackers, dumplings, noodles, popcorn, or sandwiches.
Bin N is at the highest level, while bin K is at the lowest level. Bin J is placed immediately below bin N. Bin N contains crackers. The bin containing popcorn is above the bin containing dumplings, but the two bins are not adjacent. Bin M does not contain noodles, and bin K does not contain sandwiches.
Bin N contains _____ and is _____ position above Bin J.
Correct Answer :
Crackers, One
Solution :
The correct option is Crackers, One.
Let us analyze the given information step-by-step to complete the sentence:
Step 1: Determine the relative vertical position of Bin N and Bin J
There are 5 storage bins arranged vertically from top to bottom (Level 5 down to Level 1):
1. The problem states that Bin N is at the highest level, which corresponds to Level 5.
2. It also states that Bin J is placed immediately below Bin N, placing Bin J at Level 4.
To find how many positions Bin N is above Bin J, we take the difference in their level numbers:
Since Bin N is directly above Bin J with no bins between them, Bin N is One position above Bin J.
Step 2: Identify the snack contained in Bin N
The problem explicitly states: "Bin N contains crackers."
Therefore, the snack inside Bin N is Crackers.
Conclusion:
Completing the statement: Bin N contains Crackers and is One position above Bin J.
