Question

If lily pads double the area they cover day, how many days will it take to cover a pond halfway if they will cover the pond entirely in 60 days?

Please help asap if you can!!!
Thanks, no spam answers please!
Thank you! :D

Answer 1

it doubles everyday so if all the way is 60 days half way would be 59

Answer 2

59 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding a day means the lily pads cover double the area. Subtracting a day would half the area covered. At 60 days the pond is entirely covered so subtract one day to 59. When you subtract one day you half the size (which is what you are trying to find)

I hope this helped
