We have figured out answer BUT we cant figure out the steps to get it
During gym class, the teacher gave students a number as they stood in line she counted 1, 2 and 3 then 1, 2 and 3 ......
What number did 22 second person get?
What answer did you get?
number 1 but cant figure out the formula
3 * 7 = 21
So one more must be 1.
To figure out the number the 22nd person got, we need to understand the pattern that the gym teacher followed when assigning numbers.
In this scenario, the teacher counted in a repeating pattern of 1, 2, and 3. This means that the first person in line would receive the number 1, the second person would receive the number 2, the third person would receive the number 3, and then the pattern would repeat.
To find the number the 22nd person received, we can divide 22 by 3 to determine how many complete sets of the pattern have occurred.
22 divided by 3 equals 7, with a remainder of 1. This means that the pattern of 1, 2, and 3 repeats 7 times, and the 22nd person is in the 1st position of the 8th set of the pattern.
Since the pattern begins with 1, the 22nd person received the number 1 + 3 x 7 = 22.
Therefore, the 22nd person received the number 22.
