I would say about 4 socks. because if you have 24 of each color sock then you would pull out 1 sock then you have 3 more trys to get the same colored sock.
Answer:
Lavania observed 39 fruit flies after 6 days of observation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of fruit flies on the first day of Lavania's study.
After 6 days she had nine more than five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study.
Five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study = 5x
Nine more than five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study=5x+9
The expression to find the population of fruit flies Lavania observed after 6 days is 5x+9
If she observes 20 fruit flies on the first day of the study, then x=6, then

I THINK there is a typo. Instead of "for problems each day", i think it's "four problems each day."
Anyway, we need to find how many days it takes Jeremy to complete the paper.
If he completes 8 problems on the first day and 4 on the rest of the days, after the first day he'll have 28 - 8 = 20 more problems.
And since he does 4 every day with 20 problems: 20 / 4 = 5 days.
The answer is : 1:6 repeating
