Question

If Connor is also making posters, but his posters only use 2/3 of a sheet of paper, how many of Connor's posters will 3 1/2 sheets of paper make?

Answer 1

One poster takes 2/3 of a sheet of paper.

In total 3 1/2 sheets are used,

The number of posters =?

Let the number of posters be x,

then we have,

`(1)/((2)/(3))=(x)/(3(1)/(2))`

On solving,

`\begin{gathered} 3(1)/(2)=(2)/(3)x \\ (7)/(2)=(2)/(3)x \\ x=(7)/(2)*(3)/(2)=5.25\approx5 \end{gathered}`

The number of posters is 5
