Question

Robert painted 27 sections of the backyard

fence. He painted 45% of the total fence.
How many sections make up the backyard
fence? (Use a model to solve the problem.)

Answer 1

I can’t draw you a model, but 27 is 45% of 60. So 60 sections make up the backyard fence.

Answer 2

45/100=x/27
100x=45*27
