Question

It takes Justin 55% of the time that it takes Peyton to complete a yard job. If Peyton takes 15 days, how many days does Justin take? *

Answer 1

.55(15) = 8.25 days

It takes Justin 8.25 days (8 days and 6 hours) to complete this yard job.

Answer 2

Justin takes 8.25 days to complete the yard job.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of days Justin takes, we can use the fact that it takes him 55% of the time it takes Peyton. If Peyton takes 15 days, we can find Justin's time by multiplying 15 by 0.55. Therefore, Justin takes 8.25 days to complete the yard job.
