Question

Zak takes 3 steps for every 2 steps Rich takes. How many steps will zak take if rich takes 18 steps? Explain how you found the answer

Answer 1

To solve this problem we can think of a rule of three.
 Writing the rule of three we have:
 3 ---> 2
 x ----> 18
 Clearing the value of x
 x = ((18) / (2)) * (3) = 27
 answer
 zak will take 27 steps if rich takes 18 steps
