Initally 3 people have a bacterial infection. The next day, everyone infected person infects one more person. If this pattern contiues , how many days will it take for 24 people to be infected?

Answer 1

To determine the number of days it will take for 24 people to be infected, we can analyze the pattern:

Day 1: 3 people infected
Day 2: 3 x 1 = 3 people infecting one more each = 6 people infected
Day 3: 6 x 1 = 6 people infecting one more each = 12 people infected
Day 4: 12 x 1 = 12 people infecting one more each = 24 people infected

Based on the pattern, it will take 4 days for 24 people to be infected.
