How should place a question that has multiple related questions?

What is one-half of 22? of 26? of 28? of 32?

Ans: 11; 13; 14; 16.

I do not to break it into four slides and would like them all on one page. Is there a way to do something like this.

    How about something like this?

    If you use a drag and drop you can have one drag object for each answer matched to a drop target for each part of the question.

    Can you explain how you would use D&D for multiple questions that needed to have the answer typed in? That is to me very mysterious and I have a lot or experience with custom questions and D&D. Maybe I misunderstood the question from the OP, but if I'm correct your answer seems to be not suitale at all, unless you have found a mysterious way to allow typing in with D&D? AFAIK interactive objects like a TEB cannot be used as D&D object.

    It's up to Clangton456 to decide what solution is best for him or her. I'm merely making a suggestion. The original post said nothing about text entry boxes being a requirement and it was only a suggestion on Clangton456's part in a later comment. He or she can consider my answer or ignore it. Here is a rough mockup of what I had in mind:

    Once one item was dragged over with an indiviudal success caption other questions would appear making it a multi-part question like below:

    Which version do you use( exact number please)?

    Do you want partial scoring for this? You cannot use the default question slides as you know probably. It is also important to know more details: output to HTML5 I suppose? Do you use a LMS? Which features do you want: possibility to retake/review that question or not?

    I am using Windows 10 and

    Captivate version 2017 10.0.0.192

    I would like all answers to be correct before a score is earned. No partial credit.

    Other than that, it would be treated like a standard question, if you don't get them all correct, you get to redo it, one time.

    Most of the questions in the course I want to do are of this nature, where the questions are tightly related and need to be done on the same slide. Here is an another example of the question I would like to use. It would not be conducive to the thought process to have to do all these problems on separate slides. The idea is to teach a concept and its related examples.

    What is 2 thirds of 6? of 12? of 15? of 18?

    Any suggestions of how to present questions of this type would be most welcome.

    I did think that I might do it as "short answer", and they would type in the correct answer such as 4, 8, 10, 12 etc.

    Thanks

    Thank you.

    Do not use short answer.

    You could try Fill-in-the-Blank, if it is a normal project. Do not use it in a responsive project.

    I would create a custom question, but needs more work.
