Laura has a step of 50cm She walks along by taking two steps forward and one step back. What is the least number of steps counting forward and backwards step, she takes to reach a step 20m away? ~Thanks - don't know how to solve :(

The least number of steps she takes to reach 20 m is 118 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

For Laura, the length of a walking step = 50 cm = 0.5 m

The repeating number of steps she takes = Two steps forward one step backwards

The number of forward steps it would take for her to reach 20 m = (20 m)/(0.5 m) = 40 steps

Given that she always takes two steps forward and one step backwards, we have;

The number of steps forward every three steps = 2 step forward + (-1) step (backward)

The number of steps forward every three steps = 2 - 1 = 1 step forward

To reach 39 steps forward, she would need 39 × 3 =  117 steps

To get to the 40 steps she needs just a step forward, making the total number of steps to reach 40 steps = 117 + 1 = 118 steps

Therefore, the least number of steps she takes to reach 20 m = 118 steps.

correct answer is option b.

step-by-step explanation:

the true statement about geometric figure is option b that is one line can be drawn through all three points.

if three points are on the same plane, they can be connected by a line.

the answer is 13 cm
