The city where Scott lives is cloudy 9 out of every 15 days. How many days will have passed before Scott should expect 24 cloudy days?

Answer 1

I'm guessing 30...

Answer 2

If in 15 days, there are 9 cloudy days in 30 days there will only be 18 cloudy days as we are just doubling our numbers.

Answer 3

60% of the days are cloudy since 9 is 60% of 15,

Answer 4

So lets start off by trying 45, 60% of 45 is 27 so we're a little high.

Answer 5

So lets try 40, if we get 60% of 40 we get 24, so I think that it will be 40 days!

Answer 6

okay. Thanks!! Thank you for helping. :)
