Question

Jacklyn's baby brother goes through 18 18 diapers every 4 4 days. At this rate, how many diapers will Jacklyn's baby brother go through in 28 28 days? Write a proportion and solve.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion to find the number of diapers Jacklyn's baby brother will go through in 28 days.

Let's start by writing the proportion:

(18 diapers / 4 days) = (x diapers / 28 days)

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

18 * 28 = 4 * x

Next, we simplify the equation:

504 = 4x

To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 4:

504 / 4 = x

x = 126

Therefore, Jacklyn's baby brother will go through 126 diapers in 28 days.
