Question

A publisher requires 2⁄3 of a page of advertisements for every 5 pages in a magazine. If a magazine has 98 pages, to the nearest whole page, how many pages of the magazine are advertisements?

Answer 1

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have
   `(2)/(3)` of a page of advertisements for every
   `5` pages in the magazine and the it has
   `98` pages. Therefore, you must multiply the total pages by
   `2/3` and divide the result by
   `5` pages.
2. Then:

`x:` number of pages of the magazine are advertisements

`x=((98)((2)/(3)) )/(5) \\ x=13`

Therefore, the answer is:
`13` pages.
