The table shows the distance Mr Seah jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Seah jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Seah jogged on Day 8?
| Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
| Distance jogged |
150 m |
300 m |
450 m |
600 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 150 + 0 x 150 = 150 m
Day 2: 150 + 1 x 150 = 300 m
Day 3: 150 + 2 x 150 = 450 m
Day 4: 150 + 3 x 150 = 600 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 150
Distance jogged on Day 8
= 150 + (8 - 1) x 150
= 150 + 7 x 150
= 1200 m
Answer(s): 1200 m
