Jerry is trying to cut down on the amount of soda he drinks. Right now, he drinks 48 sodas a week. If he cuts the number of sodas he drinks in half each week, how many weeks will it take him to only drink 6 sodas per week? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
Figure out how many sodas Jerry drinks after 1 week by dividing the starting number of sodas by 2: 48 sodas / 2 = 24 sodas. Now repeat the process to figure out how many soda he drinks after 2 weeks: 24 sodas / 2 = 12 sodas. Repeat the process one more time to find the number of sodas after 3 weeks: 12 sodas / 2 = 6 sodas. It takes Jerry 3 weeks to get down to 6 sodas.
Therefore, the answer is 3.
