@phi

OpenStudy (ja1):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@JA1

OpenStudy (ja1):

so 122 + 34 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhu

OpenStudy (ja1):

its 156 ;)

OpenStudy (ja1):

So now keep adding 34 until you reach 200 then see how many weeks (34's you added)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (ja1):

my bad i mean 24

OpenStudy (ja1):

thanks @tcarroll010

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If she has 122 it will take her four more weeks after that so from the start it has taken her seven weeks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (ja1):

yes because 24 * 4 = 96 and 96 + 122 is way above 200

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your welcome

OpenStudy (ja1):

Well after a reality check I realized it's not 4 weeks 4 weeks is only what you would need on top of the 122 so it would be 6.25 weeks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thanks

OpenStudy (ja1):

or just round to 7 if thats not an answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats what I said 7 weeks altogether

OpenStudy (ja1):
