Question

Meyer used 6 loads of gravel to cover 2/5 of his driveway. How many loads of gravel do he need to cover his entire driveway

Answer 1

15

Step-by-step explanation:

6 loads of gravel covers 2/5 (i.e. 0.4) of the driveway.

6=0.4x

x=6/0.4

x=15

or

6=(2/5)x

x=6/(2/5)

x=6*5/2

x=30/2

x=15

Answer 2

if it takes 6 loads to cover 2/5, it takes 3 loads to cover 1/5. 3 x 5 = 15


it will take 15 loads to cover the entire driveway :)
