Question

each month for 6 months, Kelsey completes 5 paintings. How many more paintings does she need to complete before she has completed 38 paintings?

Answer 1

In one month she completed 5 paintings, so in 6 month she completed 6 * 5 = 30 paintings.

38 - 30 = 8 - that's how many paintings she's still about to complete.

If she can do 5 paintings in one month, she'll do 8 paintings in 1 3/5 months. If we assume that month has 30 days, she'll probalby need one month and 18 days to do it (because 3/5 from 30 is 18).
