A roofing contractor uses shingles at a rate of 3 bundles for every 96 square feet of roof covered. At this rate, how many bundles of shingles will he need in order to cover a roof that is 416 square feet?

Answer 1

13

Explanation:

you see how much it covers initially. (96/3=32) then 416/32=13

Answer 2

13

Explanation:

416/96 = 4.33333

416 is 4.333 times 96, so he needs 4.333 times 3 bundles.
