A blogger writes 3 articles per day. During a content sprint, they must write 20 in 5 days. On day 3, they fall sick and write only 1. How many daily to meet goal?
Correct answer: D. 6.5
- A. 4
- B. 5
- C. 6
- D. 6.5
Explanation
The blogger must write 20 articles in 5 days, initially planning to write 3 articles per day, totaling 15 articles. On day 3, they fall sick and write only 1 article, totaling 7 articles by day 3 (3 articles each on days 1 and 2, and 1 on day 3). This leaves them 13 articles short with 2 days remaining. To meet the goal, they must average 6.5 articles per day over the remaining days. Writing 4, 5, or 6 articles per day would not suffice as they result in fewer than 20 articles in total.
