Question

Please answer this ASAP! Alma completed 5/8 of the homework assignment. If there were 32 problems, how many problems did Alma complete?

Answer 1

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ = the number of problems Anna completed

Using ratios

                                      5 : 8 = $x$ : 32

                                            $\frac{5}{8} =\frac{x}{32}$

Cross multiply:           5 x 32 = $x$ x 8

                                       160 = 8$x$

Divide both sides by 8:   20 = $x$

Therefore, Anna completed 20 problems.
