Question

In a recent year,the weather was pretty cloudy 2/5 of the days. Assuming there are 365 days in a year, how many days were partly cloudy

Answer 1

We can solve this pretty easily using a proportion where x equals the number of cloudy days in the year:

2/5 = x/365
Now cross multiply:
730 = 5x
And finally divide both aides by five:
146 = x
So 146 days of the year were cloudy.

Hope I helped, and let me know if you have any questions!
