1 answer

To find out how many outfits Sophia needs for one week, we can break down her clothing changes for each day and then sum them up.

  1. Calculate changes for weekdays (Monday to Friday):

    • Sophia changes clothes 4 times per day.
    • There are 5 weekdays.
    • Total changes on weekdays = 4 changes/day × 5 days = 20 changes.
  2. Calculate changes for Saturday:

    • On Saturday, she changes clothes 2 times.
    • Total changes on Saturday = 2 changes.
  3. Calculate changes for Sunday:

    • On Sunday, she changes clothes 3 times.
    • Total changes on Sunday = 3 changes.
  4. Sum all the changes for the whole week:

    • Total changes in one week = changes on weekdays + changes on Saturday + changes on Sunday
    • Total changes = 20 (weekdays) + 2 (Saturday) + 3 (Sunday) = 25 changes.

Therefore, Sophia needs 25 outfits for one week.
