EasierLet the outside numbers be both even or odd and find the middle numberLet one of the outside numbers be odd and one even and find the middle
VariationMake the biggest – smallest a multiple of 3 and find P and QMake the biggest – smallest a multiple of 4 and find P, Q and R etc…Present the problem as split the line in the ratio 2:1 …
or the first gap is twice as large as the secondUse negative numbers or decimals
If 80 is in the middle then what could P and Q be?What is the link between P, Q and 80? P+Q = 2x80Find P

If P and Q are integers what could the outside numbers be?As above but insert P, Q and R equally spaced
Looking at the diagram below what could P and Q be?What is the rule for finding pairs of values for P and Q?
2(Q-P)=120-Q or 3Q = 120+2P etc…Try different number of spacingsExpress the problem as a ratio: If PQ: QR = 3:1 then what could P,Q & R be?
