2-6 Problem-Solving Strategy: Look for a Pattern
ExampleSara was trying to finish all her math homework on Friday. She did 3 problems the first 30 minutes, 4 problems the next 30 minutes, 6 problems the next 30 minutes, 9 problems the next 30 minutes, and so forth. If she continues to work at this rate, how many problems will she have done in 4 hours.
