Step 1: Problem
Farmer Fred makes 4 quarts of orange juice on Monday. He makes 2 quarts more orange juice on Tuesday than on Monday. He makes 2 more quarts on Wednesday than on Tuesday. He carries on making 2 more quarts of orange juice every day than the day before. In how many days will he make a total of 80 pints of orange juice?
Step 2: Concept
Apply number series theorem
Step 3: Method
Monday = 4
Tuesday = 6
Wenesday = 8
.
.
.
Therefore, the sequence of numbers = 4, 6, 8, 10...
Let n represent number of days to make 80 pints of orange juice
Given data
a = 4 first term
d = 2 common difference
n = ?
![\begin{gathered} T_n\text{ = a + (n - 1)d} \\ 80\text{ = }4\text{ + (n - 1) 2} \\ 80\text{ = }4\text{ + 2n - 2} \\ 80+\text{ 2 - 4 = 2n} \\ 78\text{ = 2n} \\ n\text{ = }(78)/(2) \\ n\text{ = 39 days} \end{gathered}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/u8msorhwjbsax261s2f26tb3ykui64l6xm.png)
Step 4: Final answer
It will take 39 days to make 80 pints of orange juice.
