Babies redux.
If n babies are born on the 15th,
n + 29(n-1) ≥ 89
30n ≥ 118
n ≥ 118/30
n ≥ 3.93
n{min} = 4.

baby question

This is the only question that I got wrong and it is killing me! I understand the question now but here is what I thought on test day. 89 babies born in june.. If you wanted to be positive that the most babies were born on the 15th then at least 45 have to be born on that day. because for some crazy reason what if 44 babies were born on june 1st?.. but I totally get how you guys did it now. Why doesn't my reasoning work? I must have misread the question.

your reasoning works, but the question asked for the least amount of babies born on that day.. such a dumb question in my opinion.
