Question

Ms. Sims traveled to 42 countries in 60 days. At this rate, how many countries would she travel to in 40 days?

Answer 1

We know that 40 is 2/3 of 60.

So, 2/3*42=2*14=28.

Therefore, at this rate, Ms. Sims could travel to 28 countries in 40 days.

Answer 2

Ms. Sims could possibly travel to 28 countries in 40 days.

Explanation:

40 is
`(2)/(3)` of 60.

So,
`(2)/(3)`* 42 = 2 *1 4 = 28.

Ms. Sims could possibly travel to 28 countries in 40 days.
