Question

6. 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

We have (2/3)÷5 = 2/15 advertisments for 1 page;

Then, we have 98 · (2/15) = 12.2(6) advertisments for 98 pages;

The nearest whole page is 12.
