Question

in the first 33 days of class, Daunte lost 22 pencils. If Daunte keeps losing pencils at the same rate for 60 days of class, how many pencils will he lose?

Answer 1

You have to make proportions:


`(33)/(22) = (60)/(x)`


`3x=120`


`x=40`

Answer 2

Daunte would lose 40 pencils

he loses at the rate of 2 pencils for 3 days

hope this helps
