After his alarm rings, Clarence has
25 minutes to get ready. He snoozes in
bed for one minute after the alarm rings
the first day, two minutes the second
day, three minutes the third day, etc.
When Clarence is down to 11 minutes to
get ready, how many days has it been?

Respuesta :

Answer: 14 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Day 1: 1 minute snooze = 24 minutes

Day 2: 2 minute nooze = 23 minutes ; these examples show snooze time = days.

We can set up an equation for this situation: 25 - s = r ; where s = snooze time and r = time to get ready.

Given the problem, we can fill out this equation with: 25 - s = 11

When you solve this equation, time snoozed = 14.

We already know that snooze time = days, so days = 14.
