Jose planted flowers. Two flowers bloomed the first day, four flowers bloomed the second day, and six flowers bloomed the third day. If this pattern continues, how many flowers will bloom the fourth day?

Answer 1

The pattern of flowers blooming each day indicates that the number of flowers blooming increases by 2 each day.

• On the first day, 2 flowers bloomed.
• On the second day, 4 flowers bloomed, which is \(2 + 2\).
• On the third day, 6 flowers bloomed, which is \(4 + 2\).

Following this pattern for the fourth day, we can expect the number of flowers that bloom to be:

\[ 6 + 2 = 8 \]

Therefore, 8 flowers will bloom on the fourth day.
