Answer 1

28 days
x/40=42/60
x=40*24/60
x=28

Answer 2

Answer: There are 28 countries that she can travel in 40 days.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of countries = 42

Number of days = 60

We need to find the number of countries in 40 days.

Since there is direct variation between number of days and number of countries.

So, our equation becomes,

`(42)/(60)=(x)/(40)\\\\x=(42* 40)/(60)\\\\x=(1680)/(60)\\\\x=28`

Hence, There are 28 countries that she can travel in 40 days.
