Question

8) Leanne loved to chew gum. She managed to chew 112 pieces of gum in 14 days. At this rate, how much gum would she chew in 20 days?​

Answer 1

160 pieces of gum in 20 days.

Explanation:

First we have to find the number of gum she chewed in a day. To do this divide 112 and 14. We got 8. Then multiply the number of gum she chewed in a day (8) by the number of days (20).

8 x 20 = 160

She chewed 160 pieces of gum in 20 days.

Hope this helps!!

Have a good day!!

Answer 2

112/14=x/20
Cross multiply.
14x=2240
x=160

Therefore, at this rate, Leanne would chew 160 pieces of gum in 20 days.
