16:64
5:x (Cross Multiply)
16x = 64*5
16x = 320 (Then Divide both sides by 16 to isolate x)
x= 20
We are given:

There seems to be nothing I can do to simplify this equation. However, I can factor out an
since they both have at least an
. Here is what we get:

This is in the simplest form I can get into. I cannot do anything more to simplify this expression. This is your final answer.
542 --> 500
328 --> 300
Estimate: 800
Answer:
<h2> In 8 hours he will set 1200 bricks</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we are expected to estimate the number of bricks he can set in 8 hours.
let us convert hours to minutes we have
60 min make 1 hour
x min make 8 hours
cross multiply
x= 60*8
x= 480 min
We are assuming the same rate with which he sets 2.5 brick is the same as the rate with which he will set bricks for the 8 hours windows
so if the bricklayer sets
2.5 bricks in 1min
y bricks in 480 min
Cross multiply we have
y=2.5*480
y= 1200 bricks
hence in 8 hours, he will set 1200 bricks
