You start with a flat square of paper, fold it one or more times, then punch a hole through it while folded. You then unfold the square of paper. Where do the holes appear when the paper is unfolded?
Understand the Problem
The question describes a process of folding a square piece of paper, punching a hole, and then unfolding it to determine the potential locations of that hole. It tests spatial reasoning and understanding of how folding affects the final layout of punched holes.
Answer
Option 1: Four holes symmetrically spread out.
With the given folds, the paper will have four holes spread out symmetrically. The correct pattern is option 1.
Answer for screen readers
With the given folds, the paper will have four holes spread out symmetrically. The correct pattern is option 1.
More Information
Folding paper and punching a hole creates symmetry in the hole pattern. More folds typically result in more holes when the paper is unfolded.
Tips
A common mistake is underestimating the number of holes created by folding in multiple layers. Visualizing the folding process helps.
