Week Minutes of Practice
1 30
2 40
3 52
4 66
5 82
6 ?

If Morris continues to follow this pattern, how many minutes will he practice playing the trumpet during Week 6?
A.
100
B.
99
C.

D.
101

Answer 1

1 30 ---> going to 40, this is an increase of +10
2 40 ---> going to 52, this is an increase of +12
3 52 --> going to 66, this is an increase of + 14

I hope the pattern is a bit clearer. every consecutive row is increased, and each time the amount of increase is increased by 2

follow the pattern to get the increase from row 5 to row 6
