Question

Please answer this ASAP! Alma completed 5/8 of the homework assignment. If there were 32 problems, how many problems did Alma complete?

Answer 1

20

Explanation:

Let
`x` = the number of problems Anna completed

Using ratios

5 : 8 =
`x` : 32

`(5)/(8) =(x)/(32)`

Cross multiply: 5 x 32 =
`x` x 8

160 = 8
`x`

Divide both sides by 8: 20 =
`x`

Therefore, Anna completed 20 problems.
