Question

A weaver weaves about 2/3 of a basket each day. How long will it take her to make 12 baskets.

Answer 1

18 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The weaver weaves about 2/3 of a basket each day.

• Let the number of days it takes = d

Then:

`(2)/(3)* d\text{ days=12}`

We then solve for d:

`\begin{gathered} 2d=12*3 \\ d=(12*3)/(2) \\ d=18\text{ days} \end{gathered}`

It will take her 18 days to make 12 baskets.
