Question

A cooking a magazine shows a photo of a main dish on the front cover of

5 out of the 12 issues it publishes each year. Write and solve a proportion
to determine how many times a photo of a main dish will be on the front
cover during the next 5 years.

Answer 1

25

Explanation:

There are 12 months in a year.

5 × 12 = 60

There are 60 months in 5 years.

5/12 = x/60

12x = 5 × 60

x = 5 × 5

x = 25
