Question

A publisher requires 2∕3 of a page of advertisements for every 5 pages in a magazine. If a magazine has 98 pages, to the nearest whole page, how many pages of the magazine are advertisements?

Answer 1

`\boxed{13}` pages

Explanation:

Divide the total number of pages by 5 to get how many sets of every 5 pages will contain 2/3 of a page of advertisements.

`(98)/(5) = 19.6`

Multiply this value by
`(2)/(3)` to get the total number of pages.

`19.6 * (2)/(3) \approxeq 13` pages
