Help! ASAP pls There is a frog dead in the center of the pond on a lily pad. The pond is 7 meters in diameter. There are 6 lily pads leading to the edge, which the frog MUST jump onto if he wishes to get out. The frog can only jump to 3 pads each day. How many days will it take him to get to the edge of the pond? And give an explanation

Answer:

Approximately 2 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frog can only jump 3 lily pads each day.

24 hours = 1 day

[tex]\frac{24}{3}[/tex] = 8 hours

Thus, it would take the frog 8 hours to cover a lily pad.

To get to the edge of the pond, the frog would jump through 6.5 lily pads (since he is at the middle of a lily pad at the center of the pond).

So that;

Total time required to get to the edge of the pond can be determined by;

6.5 × 8 hours = 52 hours

Number of days to get to the edge of the pond = [tex]\frac{52}{24}[/tex]

                                                                    = 2.2

It would take him approximately 2 days to get to the edge of the pond.
