Question
A city currently has 133 streetlights. As part of an urban renewal program, the city council has decided to install 2 additional streetlights at the end of each week for the next 52 weeks.How many streetlights will the city have at the end of 48 weeks?
Solution
To solve this problem, we first need to calculate how many streetlights will be added over the course of 48 weeks.
Step 1: The city council is installing 2 additional streetlights each week. So, over the course of 48 weeks, the total number of new streetlights will be 2 streetlights/week * 48 weeks = 96 streetlights.
Step 2: We then add this number to the current number of streetlights in the city. The city currently has 133 streetlights, so at the end of 48 weeks, the city will have 133 streetlights + 96 streetlights = 229 streetlights.
So, the city will have 229 streetlights at the end of 48 weeks.
