The table shows the distance Mr Teo jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Teo jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Teo jogged on Day 8?
Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
Distance jogged |
450 m |
600 m |
750 m |
900 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 450 + 0 x 150 = 450 m
Day 2: 450 + 1 x 150 = 600 m
Day 3: 450 + 2 x 150 = 750 m
Day 4: 450 + 3 x 150 = 900 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 150
Distance jogged on Day 8
= 450 + (8 - 1) x 150
= 450 + 7 x 150
= 1500 m
Answer(s): 1500 m
