Question

mavin had 4 books to read for homework this week. if he reads 2/3mof a book each night , how many nights will it take him to read all four books

Answer 1

It would take him 6 nights

Answer 2

6 nights

Explanation:

Because it takes one night for Mavin to finish 2/3 of a book, you can create a ratio of book:night.

2/3:1

4:x

Then we solve for x.

x=4x * 1/ 2/3

x = 4 * 3/2

x = 6

So it will take Mavin 6 nights to finish his 4 books :)
