SOLUTION:
Step 1:
In this question, we are given the following:
It rained 2 out of the last 12 days in March. If this trend continues,
how many rainy days would you expect in April?
Step 2:
Recall that there are 30 days in the month of April, and for us to have a definite proportion, we need to do the following:
[tex]\frac{2}{12}=\frac{x}{30}[/tex]we cross-multiply and we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 12\text{ x = 2(30)} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 12, we have that:} \\ \text{x=}\frac{60}{12} \\ \text{x = 5 days} \end{gathered}[/tex]CONCLUSION:
It is expected to rain for a given period of 5 days in the month of April.
