Each month for 7 months, Samuel mows 3 lawns. How many more lawns does he need to mow before he has mowed 29 lawns.


I think it is 8 more lawns and not 7.

7x3=21; 29-21=8.


Am I wrong?

What I did is 7×3 and got 21 then counted up in till I got to 29 and I got 6 not 8.

Answer: No,  He needs to to mow 7 more lawns before he has mowed 29 lawns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of lawns by Samuel in each month =- 3

The number of months he mowed the lawns = 7

Then, the number of lawns mowed by Samuel = \(7\times3=21\)

Let x be the number of  lawns he needs to mow before he has mowed 29 lawns, then x<29

The number just before 29 is 28

Then, \(x=28-21\\\Rightarrow\ x=7\)

Hence, he needs to to mow 7 more lawns before he has mowed 29 lawns.
