Advanced Math practice question

Answer: 54

Each step forward divides by 3, so each step back multiplies by 3: g(1) = 18 and g(0) = 54.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 12

12 adds 3 twice, treating the function as linear.

If you answered 18

18 is g(1), one step back.

If you answered 2/3

2/3 goes forward two steps instead of back (6 ÷ 9).
