On a board measuring 1x100, each square is numbered from 1 to 100. Three colors are used to paint the squares from left
to right. The following pattern is repeated: one blue square,
two red squares, three green squares, one blue, two red,
three green and so on.
What is the highest numbered square that is painted blue?

Patterns are simply the rules that guide the formation of elements in a dataset. The highest numbered square that is painted blue is 97.

The sequence is given as:

The number of squares is given as:

First, we calculate the number of complete iteration of the sequence of squares.

So, the complete iteration (k) is:

Remove decimal (do not approximate)

Next, calculate the position of the last element in the iteration.

The blue square is the first on each iteration.

So, the highest numbered blue square is:

Hence, the highest numbered square that is painted blue is 97.

97

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following conditions :

board measuring 1x100, each square is numbered from 1 to 100

Three colors are used to paint the squares from left to right in the sequence :

one blue, two reds and three green squares in a repeated pattern.

What is the highest numbered square that is painted blue?

The sequence of painting is repeated after :

(1 + 2 + 3) = 6 successive squares

Since the number of squares = 100

Maximum complete repetition possible :

100 / 6 = 16 remainder 4

Hence 16 * 6 = 96 (the highest complete sequence terminates on the square numbered 96)

On the 97th square, another sequence begins which is a blue and the 100th square is painted the first of the 3 green colors.

Hence, the highest numbered square that is painted blue is 97
