Question

Each week Richard Studies for 12 hours. His friend Gary studied for 8 hours a week. How many weeks will it take Gary to study the same number of hours Richard will study in 4 weeks.

Answer 1

6 weeks 12x4=48 8x6=48

Answer 2

Richard’s 12 hours per week multiples by 4 weeks is 48

So that means to figure out how many weeks it will take for Gary to study 48 hours if he studies 8 hours a day, the formula is…
8 multiplied by a number is 48 OR
8*x=48

8 times 6 is 48 so the answer is…

6 weeks
