__________________________

tomas is planning out a rail trail using a map with a marked grid. The head of the trail, which has an information kiosk, is located at (3, 0). He moves 1 unit east and 3 units north and places a pin at (4, 3) to represent the location of another information kiosk. He continues to move 1 unit east and 3 units north twelve more times, placing a pin each time. Where will the last pin be placed?

Kiosks only occur when the y-coordinate is a multiple of 3. The closest to the 40 units of northern land would be at 39. 39 divided by 3 would mean Tomas placed an additional 13 kiosks after the first. With the x-coordinate incrementing 1 unit east each time, the x-coordinate of the last kiosk endpoint is 3+13 or 16. Thus the foot of the trail ends at (16,39).
