He will repeat this pattern for the 180 days.
If he begins taking the medicine on a Monday,
how many times will he take it on a Monday and then on
Tuesday of the same week?

Respuesta :

Mario will take medication 13times on Monday - Tuesday pattern of the same week.

What is pattern?

"Pattern is defined as the repeated arrangement of the sequence of numbers , colour , shape and so on as per the rule defined for it."

According to the question,

Total number of days Mario takes medication = 180 days

Condition of prescription = Take 2 days in a row and then skip 1 day.

Mario begins from Monday ,

Consider Monday - 1st day

               Tuesday = 2nd day

               Wednesday - 3rd day

              Thursday - 4th day

              Friday - 5th day

              Saturday - 6th day

              Sunday - 7th day

Number of weeks in 180days when it starts from Monday

= 25weeks and 5 more days  

So  pattern is

1st week : ( 1,2) , skip 3, (4,5), skip 6, (7,1)

2nd week : (2,3) , skip4, (5,6), skip 7

3rd week  again start from Monday- Tuesday

It means total 13 week in 25 weeks, it repeats the Monday-Tuesday pattern.

Hence, Mario will take medication 13times on Monday - Tuesday pattern of the same week.
