Word Problems by Nico, Frank and DC

1. Every day, Frank eats 1 burger more than the day before. Each burger weighs 500g. At the end of a leap year, how many kilograms would frank have gained if on the first day of the year he ate 1 burger?
Assume he does not have a digestive system.

2. A young athlete has decided to run everyday as a rutine workout. He has a tournament 7 weeks from now. He decides to start easy and get harder as each week passes. He starts running 200 ft the first day and does that for a week. The next week he starts running 350ft and does that for a week. How many feet would he have run in total by the start of the tournament?
