Question

Tim is reading a book. On Monday he reads 2 pages. On each day after that, he reads triple the number of pages as the previous day. How many pages did Tim read on Thursday?

Answer 1

How many pages does Tim read on Monday? 2 pages.

If Tim tripled the amount that he read on Monday, how many pages did he read on Tuesday? 2 × 3 = 6 Pages

Repeat for Wednesday. 6 × 3 = 18 Pages

Repeat for Thursday. 18 × 3 = 54 Pages

Answer 2

Tim read 54 pages on Thursday.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Tim read 2 pages on Monday. Each day after that, he reads triple the number of pages as the previous day.

Monday =
`2=2`

Tuesday =
`2* 3=6`

Wednesday =
`2* 3* 3=18`

Thursday =
`2* 3* 3* 3=54`

Hence, Tim read 54 pages on Thursday.
