Question

A meteorologist said it rained during 20% of the past 60 days. One how many days did it not rain

Answer 1

Answer: 48 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

• "A meteorologist said it rained during 20% of the past 60 days "

So, first we have to multiply the number of days (60) by the percentage (20%)

20% = 20/100 = 0.2 (decimal form)

60x 0.2 = 12 days rained

Finally we subtract the days obtained to the total days (60) to obtain the number of days that it didn't rain.

60-12 = 48 days  

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Answer:

48 days

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of 60 days is 12 days

0.2*60=12

60-12=48
