A tropical water lily doubles in size each week. If it takes 60 weeks for the plant to completely cover a pond, when will half the pond be covered?

59 weeks

Is it how?

If the water lily covers half the pond on one day, then it doubles its size the next day to completely cover the pond.

Thank you!!!

You're welcome.

I see I made an error -- it should be doubles its size the next week.
