Jenny planned to solve 2/3 of her homework problems on Saturday. However, she got home late and had less time than planned. As a result, she solved only 7/8 of the problems she planned to solve. How many problems were in Jenny's homework if she solved 28 on Saturday?

Answer:

  • 48 problems

Explanation:

Jenny planned to solve 2/3 of homework

On Saturday she solved 28 problems, which is 7/8 of the planned number

Planned number is:

  • 28 : 7/8 = 28 * 8/7 = 32 problems

Jenny's homework was:

  • 32 : 2/3 = 32 * 3/2 = 48 problems
