Question

Katie would go to the park everyday and each day she recorded how many dogs were in the park. Day

1: there was 4 dogs, Day 2: 3 dogs, Day 3: 6 dogs, Day 4: 1 dog and Day 5: 8 dogs. Over the next 3 weeks the same amount of dogs turned up each day. How many dogs did she see over the 3 weeks?

Answer 1

Katie recorded a total of 4 + 3 + 6 + 1 + 8 = 22 dogs over the first 5 days. If the same number of dogs turned up each day for the next 3 weeks, then she would have seen the same number of dogs per day for an additional 21 days (3 weeks * 7 days/week = 21 days). So in total, over the 3 weeks, she would have seen 22 dogs/day * 21 days = 462 dogs.
