Hello,
I'm a little confused as to how I can go about solving this problem.. Any help is appreciated.
Draw and copy the following checkerboard. Then, on the board, show all of the paths that the checker piece can take to reach the bottom square marked with an “X,” without going through the two blacked-out squares. Remember, the checker piece can only move diagonally forwards by one square at a time, in this case, using the white squares only. How many paths are there in total?
In my answer I got 8 as the number of paths to reach the bottom square marked with an "X". Is this correct?
Thanks
