Answer 1

$\text{We're trying to find how many weeks Ben has lived in London}\\\\\text{We know that there are 52 weeks in a year}\\\\\text{We also know that he's been in London for 2/5 of a year, or 40\%}\\\\\text{To find your answer, you could multiply 52 by 0.40}\\\\52*0.40= 20.8\\\\\boxed{\text{Ben has been in London for 20.8 weeks}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{104}{5}$ weeks or $20\frac{4}{5}$ weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this we can set up a proportion

$\frac{52}{1} *\frac{2}{5}$

This will tell us how many weeks are in 2/5 of a year

Let's evaluate this

$\frac{104}{5}$

We cannot simplifiy this anymore, so we will leave it as an improper fraction, or a mixed number as shown below

$20\frac{4}{5}$ weeks
