Which following list of odd numbers totals 56?

To determine which list of odd numbers totals 56, it’s essential to add the numbers in each option and see which sums up to the target number.

For the list 11, 13, 15, and 17, the addition works as follows:

• First, add 11 and 13, which equals 24.

• Then, add 15 to that total: 24 + 15 equals 39.

• Finally, adding 17 gives 39 + 17 equals 56.

This confirms that the sum of the numbers in this option matches the required total of 56.

It's helpful to analyze the other options to understand why they do not sum to 56:

• In the list including 9, 11, 15, and 21, the sum is significantly lower: 9 + 11 equals 20, adding 15 gives 35, and then adding 21 totals 56.

• The second option with 13, 15, 17, and 11 sums to 56 because they add up to 56.

• In the list of 19, 21, 23, and 25, the total would be much higher than 56, as even the
