Question 1135396: Hi:
My math problem is this: Latisha invited 50 of her closest friends to her birthday, but they decided that 50 presents was too many. Instead, they got 50 boxes and numbered them from 1-50, with presents in only some boxes. When it was time to open gifts, Latisha had to follow certain instructions:
To open every box
Then she had to start with box #2 and close #2, #4, #6, etc. going down the line
Starting with box #3, she was to change every third box, so if it was open she closed it and if it was closed she opened it.
Starting with #4, she had to change every 4th box
Starting with #5, she had to change every 5th box.
She was to go through the line fifty times continuing the pattern.
The open boxes left a pattern, and she had to search those boxes to find it.
Task 1: Which boxes contained gifts? Describe the pattern Latisha found.
The boxes that were open were 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, and 49. The pattern is that the numbers are perfect squares, so 1^2 is 1, 2^ 2 is 4, 3^2 is 9, 4^2 is 16,
5^2 is 25, 6^2 is 36, and 7^2 is 49.
Task two: Explain why you thin this pattern occurred? I don't know how this occured, would it be possible for you to assist me with it? Thank you!
