Question

Each week you notice

more and more squirrels in
your front yard. At the end
of the first week you notice
5 squirrels. At the end of
the second week you see 8
and by the end of the third
week there are 11. If they
continue to move to your
yard at the same rate how
many squirrels will there be
after 28 week

Answer 1

140 squirrels

Explanation:

first week, there are 5 squirrels.

second week, there are 8 squirrels.

third week, there are 11 squirrels.

let's calculate the amount of squirrels at the end of 28 weeks. from the statement given, an addition of 3 squirrels for every week.

by cross multiply method:

5 squirrels = 1 week

x squirrels = 28 weeks

x = 28 x 5

x = 140 squirrels.

so you will have an amount of 140 squirrels after 28 weeks.
