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?
The pattern repeats every 5 panels: orange, yellow, pink, green, purple. As there are 98 panels in total, we can divide 98 by 5 to find the number of complete patterns in the fence.
98 / 5 = 19.6
Since we can't have a fraction of a pattern, we will round down to the nearest whole number. This means there will be 19 complete patterns in the fence.
In each complete pattern, the green panel appears once. Therefore, the number of panels painted green is equal to the number of complete patterns.
Therefore, the number of panels painted green is 19.
