730/5 =

146 days

2. 365/5=

73*2

146 days

Answer 2

146 days.

Explanation:

We have been given that in a recent year, the weather was partly cloudy 2/5 of the days. We are asked to find the number of days were party cloudy in a year.

We know that one year equals 365 days. To find the number of party cloudy days in a year, we need to find 2/5 of 365.

`\text{Number of party cloudy days in a year}=(2)/(5)* 365`

`\text{Number of party cloudy days in a year}=2* 73`

`\text{Number of party cloudy days in a year}=146`

Therefore, 146 days in a year were partly cloudy.
