  1. For this question, I put each number side by side to see the change from the previous number to the next. Another strategy I used was writing the previous number over the next number to visually see the change. In the end, I found out that 36 lights went off and 22 went on.

  2. I imagined the numbes on top of each other and created a number line. The final answer is 36 lights turned off and 22 on.

  3. I would just imagine the lights in my mind. I then counted how many turned on and off. In the end, I got 36 lights that went off and 22 that went on.

  5. Actually, there would be 7 total changes in the tens coloumn digits, and 60 total changes in the ones coloumn digits. Therefore, there would be a total of 67 LED changes when counting down from 20 to 1.
