Question

A publisher requires 2∕3 of a page of advertisements for every 5 pages in a magazine. If a magazine has 98 pages, to the nearest whole page, how many pages of the magazine are advertisements?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{13}$ pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the total number of pages by 5 to get how many sets of every 5 pages will contain 2/3 of a page of advertisements.

$\frac{98}{5} = 19.6$

Multiply this value by $\frac{2}{3}$ to get the total number of pages.

$19.6 * \frac{2}{3} \approxeq 13$ pages
