Question

Luca packed 5 shirts and 2 pairs of pants for a two-day trip. If he keeps the same ratio of shirts to number of days, how many shirts should he pack for a twelve-day trip?

Answer 1

30 shirts

Explanation:

A 12-day trip is 6 times as long as a 2-day trip, so he should pack 6 times as many shirts:

6 × 5 shirts = 30 shirts

Luca should pack 30 shirts for his 12-day trip.
