Find another way to solve this question.
Along a number line (0 -100) Fred and Frida race to see who makes it to 100 first. Fred jumps two numbers each time and Frida jumps four at a time. Investigate the starting point for Fred so that he is guaranteed to win?
I know you can solve it graphically by drawing two number lines and then counting how many jumps both Fred and Frida have.
And I know you can make a linear equation:
Eg. Fred= 2j + K
Frida= 4j
Then solve
(j meaning amount of jumps and K being starting position.)
Are there any other ways to solve it? If so explain the process and state the assumptions you made.
