Noreen is beginning an exercise program. The first weak she exercises 25 minutes each day. The second week she exercises 30 minutes a day and the third week she increases it to 35 minutes a day. If the pattern continues how long will she exercise each day in the 5th week
You only have 2 more steps to go:
.....
3rd week : 35
4th week: 40
5th week: 45
To determine how long Noreen will exercise each day in the 5th week, we need to continue the pattern of increasing the exercise time each week.
1st week: 25 minutes
2nd week: 30 minutes
3rd week: 35 minutes
To find out the increase in minutes from one week to the next, we can observe that the increase is 5 minutes per week.
So, we can calculate the exercise time for the 4th week by adding 5 minutes to the exercise time of the 3rd week:
4th week: 35 minutes + 5 minutes = 40 minutes
Similarly, for the 5th week, we can again add 5 minutes to the exercise time of the 4th week:
5th week: 40 minutes + 5 minutes = 45 minutes
Therefore, Noreen will exercise 45 minutes each day in the 5th week.
