Question

Lavita finally got her beautiful painting done it was a total of 1 2/3 meters. She was able to finish 3/8 each week. how many weeks in all did it take her to weave

Answer 1

Answer:

4 weeks

Explanation:

Length of Lavita’s painting = $1 \frac{2}{3} m=\frac{5}{3} m$

Length she was able to finish each week= $\frac{3}{8}m$

Now,

If she is able to finish$\frac{3}{8}m$ in 1 week

Then

$\frac{3}{8}m$ = 1 week

1 m = $\frac{8}{3}m$ week

Therefore

$\frac{5}{3} m=\frac{8}{3} \times \frac{5}{3} \text { week }$

= $\frac{40}{9}$week

=4.44 week

= 4 weeks (approx.)
