We have figured out answer 1 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?
See my answer posted a couple of minutes ago.
thanks
You're welcome.
you would not know i went to law school my 5th time doing third grade. Of course honors classes BUT how do they expect the parents to remember.
To find out which number the 22nd person got, we need to follow the pattern of counting.
In this scenario, the teacher counts "1, 2, 3" repeatedly as students stand in line. This means that every third person will receive the same number.
To solve this, we can divide 22 by 3 to determine how many complete sets of "1, 2, 3" were counted before reaching the 22nd person.
22 ÷ 3 equals 7 remainder 1.
This means that there were 7 complete sets of "1, 2, 3" counted before reaching the 21st person, and the 22nd person falls into the pattern again, receiving the same number as the first person in the set.
Therefore, the 22nd person will receive the number "1".
