Which list of odd numbers sums to 56?

  1. 7, 11, 13, 23

  2. 11, 12, 15, 18

  3. 9, 11, 13, 15

  4. 11, 13, 15, 17

The correct answer is: 11, 13, 15, 17

To determine which list of odd numbers sums to 56, let's analyze the correct choice. The list of odd numbers 11, 13, 15, and 17 consists entirely of odd integers. When you sum these numbers: 11 + 13 = 24 24 + 15 = 39 39 + 17 = 56 This calculation confirms that the sum is indeed 56, which aligns perfectly with the requirements of the question. In contrast, the other choices contain a mix of numbers where either not all of them are odd, or their sums do not reach 56. For example, some of those numbers could include even integers, changing their total away from the desired sum. Thus, the only option that correctly adheres to all criteria, both in being entirely composed of odd numbers and achieving the target sum, is the group of 11, 13, 15, and 17.
