Question

Each day, starting on
Monday. Misifu, the cat,
went out hunting mice.
On Wednesday he hunted 7 mice and
each day he hunted 2 more than the
previous day.
How many mice did Misitu hunt between
Monday and Friday of this week?
​

Answer 1

Respuesta:

35

Explicación:

if on Wednesday the cat caught 7 mice and each day catches two more than the previous day, then 7-2 = 5 (on Tuesday the cat caught 5 if we see that every day catches two more, you only have to subtract two to know that case the previous day). On Monday he caught 3 (5-2 = 3) on Thursday he caught 9 and Friday 11.

Then 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 = 35 mice trapped by the cat
