In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake? (please give your answer in days)

Ah, this old favourite.





If it doubles every day, then it would cover half the lake the day before it covers the whole lake: i.e. 47 days.





Hope that helps!
