Question

In the first 3 days of class, Maria lost 2 pencils. If maria keeps losing pencils at the same rate for 60 days of class, how many pencils will she lose?

Answer 1

Rounded to the nearest whole number, it seems as if she will lose 40 pencils at this rate.

2/3 = .66
60x.66=39.6
39.6 - 40

Hope this was helpful!

Answer 2

3 days lost 2
60/3 = 20
20 x 2 = 40

60 days she will lose 40pencils
