Question

Coach Brown kept track of the number of wins at different points in his career.

Year 70 175 210
Number of Wins 2nd 5th 6th
If Coach Brown continues to win at this rate, during which year will Coach Brown get the 490th win?

Answer 1

Coach Brown will get his 490th win in the year 694.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the year when Coach Brown will get his 490th win, we need to determine the pattern of win growth. Looking at the given data, we can observe that the number of wins is increasing linearly with each year. The difference between the number of wins in consecutive years is 3.

So, to reach the 490th win, we need to find the number of years required to increase the number of wins by 3 * (490 - 6) = 3 * 484 = 1452.

Dividing 1452 by 3 (the growth rate), we find that it will take Coach Brown approximately 484 years to reach the 490th win. Therefore, Coach Brown will get his 490th win in the year 210 + 484 = 694.
