The humorous answer is to say "there aren't two lily pads in the pond, only one." The mathematical answer is that identical lily pads would take 29 days to fill the pond (not 15), because after the first day, a single lily pad would be twice its size, or the same size as the set of two would be to start out.

If it takes 6 tractors 10 days to plow how long does it take for 15 tractors?

Assuming the tractors are working together, they all work at the same rate and do not get in each others way, 4 days. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It takes 10 days to plow the area → each day 1/10 the area is done There are 6 tractors → each day each tractor plows 1/6 x 1/10 = 1/60 the area With 15 tractors → each day they plow 15 x 1/60 the area = 1/4 the area → to plow the whole area takes 1/(1/4) = 4 days.
