Question

For Joe's illness, the doctor gave him a prescription of 28 pills. He needs to take 4 pills the first day, and then 2 pills each day until the prescription runs out. For how many days does he take the 2 pills?

Answer 1

Answer:

12 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

I looked at it this way:

He has to take 4/28 pills the first day, so it's 28-4=24. Then I divided 24 by 2.

In simpler terms:

28-4=24

24/2

12
