Joseph is going to paint the panels of a fence. He is going to use the same repeating pattern for the entire fence. The rule is "orange, yellow, pink, green, purple." If there are 98 panels in the fence, how many will be painted green? Enter your answer in the box.
The pattern "orange, yellow, pink, green, purple" repeats every 5 panels.
To find out how many patterns of 5 panels there are in the fence of 98 panels, divide 98 by 5.
98 ÷ 5 = 19 remainder 3.
This means there are 19 complete patterns of 5 panels in the fence, with 3 panels remaining.
Since the remaining panels are painted in order, the first panel is orange, the second panel is yellow, and the third panel will be painted green.
So, there will be 1 green panel in addition to the 19 complete patterns of 5 panels.
Answer: <<1+19=20>>20.
