How many times does the letter n appear in the word "mayonnaise"?
3 times.
Please explain your reasoning.
The letter "n" appears 3 times in the word "mayonnaise". One "n" is in the second position, another in the fourth position, and the last one in the seventh position.
What letter appears in the second position?
The letter "a" appears in the second position in the word "mayonnaise".
Does this mean that the letter "a" and the letter "n" both appear in the second position in the word "mayonnaise"?
No, "a" appears in the second position, while "n" appears in the fourth and seventh positions in the word "mayonnaise".
So how many times does the letter "n" appear in the word "mayonnaise"? Is it still three?
Yes, the letter "n" still appears 3 times in the word "mayonnaise".
Please write the word "mayonnaise", but replace all the characters that are not "n" with a dash (-).
-a--o---e
Are any of the characters you wrote just now the letter "n"?
No, none of the characters I wrote are the letter "n".
How come you did not replace them with dashes?
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Here is the word "mayonnaise" with all characters except "n" replaced by dashes:
-a-n-o-n-a-i-e
-a-n-o-n-a-i-e
