thomas has 32 socks. he loses one sock every week while doing laundry. how many socks will thomas have after 14 days? thomas will have socks after 14 days.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert days to weeks

14 days is equal to \( \frac{14}{7} = 2 \) weeks.

He loses 1 sock per week, so in 2 weeks he loses \( 1\times2 = 2 \) socks.

30
