Q. Sasha swam 12 laps on Tuesday, 15 laps on Wednesday, 18 laps on Thursday, and 21 laps on Friday. If this pattern continues, how many laps will Sasha swim on Saturday? _____ laps
Identify pattern: Identify the pattern in the number of laps Sasha swims each day. From Tuesday to Friday, the laps increase by 3 each day (15−12, 18−15, 21−18).
Calculate Saturday laps: Calculate the number of laps for Saturday by adding 3 to Friday's total. Friday Sasha swam 21 laps, so Saturday would be 21+3=24 laps.
