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. (1 point) There will be green ______ panels.
To find the number of green panels, we need to determine which panel number in the repeating pattern corresponds to green.
The pattern is "orange, yellow, pink, green, purple," and it repeats every 5 panels.
Since there are 98 panels in total, we divide 98 by 5 to find how many times the pattern repeats: 98 / 5 = 19 remainder 3.
This means the pattern repeats 19 times, with an additional 3 panels after the last full repetition.
The third panel in the pattern is green.
Therefore, there will be green 19 panels.
