During the summer, Mr. Brust does a lot of napping (and snoring)! In a typical nap, Mr. Brust will snore on average 320 times (or the ratio of naps to snores is 1 nap : 320 snores). Find the total number of times Mr. Brust snored last summer during naps in July and August if he took one nap everyday.

Answer 1

Answer: Mr Brust snored a total of 19,840 times last summer

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Brust snores in the ratio of 1 nap : 320 snores or 1 nap = 320 snores

Given that he took a  nap everyday,  last summer We have that  .

For the month of July,

he had 31 naps( 31 days are in July)

Number of snores he made =31 x 320=9,920 snores

For the month of August

he also took 31 naps ( 31 days are in AugusT)

Number of snores he made = 31 x 320=9,920 snores

Therefore  Mr Brust snored a total of 9,920+ 9,920 =19,840 times
