Problem Description:
The image shows a tooth-brushing tracker for four weeks. Each week has seven days (Monday to Sunday), and each day has two slots: one for the morning (sun icon) and one for the evening (moon icon). The task is to analyze the data in the tracker and determine how consistently the person brushed their teeth during these four weeks.
Solution Approach:
1.
Understand the Tracker:
- The tracker uses sun icons for morning brushing and moon icons for evening brushing.
- A filled icon indicates that the person brushed their teeth, while an empty icon means they did not.
2.
Analyze Each Week:
- For each week, count the number of filled sun and moon icons.
- Calculate the total number of times the person brushed their teeth each week.
- Determine the consistency by checking if the person brushed twice daily (morning and evening).
3.
Summarize the Results:
- Provide the total number of brushings per week.
- Identify any patterns or inconsistencies.
