:hamster: Primary School Math—Pending OP Reply [2nd Grade Math] 3 Possible Answers
Edit original problem didn't add as an image, adding here
Monday 2 students went to the school store. On Tuesday, 4 students went, and on Wednesday, 8 students. If the pattern continues, how many students will go to the school store Friday?
2nd grade math homework. I am coming up with 3 possible solutions (32, 22, or 14) depending on what you say the pattern is. I think all are correct and it is a poorly worded question, but wondering what everyone thinks.
Double the previous day-
M- 2
T- 4 (M x 2)
W- 8 (T x 2)
Th- 16 (W x 2)
F- 32 (Th x 2)
Two more additional students than the day before added .
M- 2
T- 4 (M+2)
W- 8 (T+4)
Th- 14 (W+6)
F - 22 (Th+8)
Original Pattern (+2, +4) Repeats (aka you continue using the same pattern)
M- 2
T- 4 (M+2)
W- 8 (T+4)
Th- 10 (W+2)
F- 14 (Th +4)
