Calculate Roberto's Total Repetitions: A Four-Day Increment Challenge

Question

Roberto is training for a running test. Each day Roberto managed to perform more repetitions than the day before.

- On the second day he did 2 more repetitions than the first day.

- On the third day he did 3 more repetitions than on the second day.

- On the fourth day he did 5 more repetitions than on the third day.

- How many repetitions did Roni do in the four days together, if on the first day he performed 3 runs?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, let's determine how many runs Roberto did on each day and then sum those amounts.

Starting with the given conditions:

  • On the first day, Roberto performs 33 runs.

  • On the second day, Roberto performs 3+2=53 + 2 = 5 runs (2 more than on the first day).

  • On the third day, Roberto performs 5+3=85 + 3 = 8 runs (3 more than on the second day).

  • On the fourth day, Roberto performs 8+5=138 + 5 = 13 runs (5 more than on the third day).

Now, let's sum up the runs from all four days:

Total runs=First day+Second day+Third day+Fourth day=3+5+8+13=29 \text{Total runs} = \text{First day} + \text{Second day} + \text{Third day} + \text{Fourth day} \\ = 3 + 5 + 8 + 13 \\ = 29

Therefore, Roberto did a total of 29 runs over the four days.

The correct answer is: (3)(3) 29 runs.

Answer

29 runs
