The table shows the distance Mr Lee jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Lee jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Lee jogged on Day 9?
Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
Distance jogged |
450 m |
700 m |
950 m |
1200 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 450 + 0 x 250 = 450 m
Day 2: 450 + 1 x 250 = 700 m
Day 3: 450 + 2 x 250 = 950 m
Day 4: 450 + 3 x 250 = 1200 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 250
Distance jogged on Day 9
= 450 + (9 - 1) x 250
= 450 + 8 x 250
= 2450 m
Answer(s): 2450 m
