Question

Yaswitha has 30 cherries
She decided that each day she should
eat halfof the cherries that were left



plus an extra one. In how many days does she eat all the cherries?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

total cherries = 30

30/2 + 1=16 will be eaten in first day

now the no. of remaining cherries = 30 - 16 = 14

now , no of cherries eaten on 2nd day = 14/2 +1=8

now remaining = 14 - 8 = 6

now on third day 6/2 + 1 = 4

now remaing = 6-4=2

now on fourth day 2/2+1 = 2

now 0 cherries are left .

Therefore , she will eat all the cherries in only 4 days .
