Question

While swimming in the pool, you attempt to swim the length without getting a breath. You are able to do it 3 out of every 5 times you attempt. If you attempted to do it 10 times, how many did you make it?

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

There are 2 ways to do this, 5x2=10 therefore 3x2=6

OR

Make a ratio 3/5=x/10

Then cross multiply so 3x10=30 and 5 times x= 5x

Then you are left with 30=5x

Divide on both sides and get 6
