When the phone rings at home, I never let it ring fewer than three times or more than 4 times. Today my little sister, who likes to count everything, told me that the phone rang 17 times and that I answered all the calls. How many times did I answer the phone?

You answer the phone 5 times:

x=number of calls

17/3.5=x

4.85=x that rounds into 5
