Daniel completed 33 volunteer hours at an animal shelter during 6 weeks. He wants to volunteer at the same rate until he completes 100 hours. Daniel determined how many weeks it will take him to do this. Which proportion did Daniel use?

Respuesta :

The proportion used by Daniel is [tex]\frac{6}{33} = \frac{x}{100}[/tex]

It takes 18 weeks to complete 100 hours of volunteer

Solution:

Given that, Daniel completed 33 volunteer hours at an animal shelter during 6 weeks

He wants to volunteer at the same rate until he completes 100 hours

To find: Number of weeks taken for 100 hours

Let "x" be the number of weeks taken for 100 hours

From given information,

6 weeks = 33 hours

"x" weeks = 100 hours

This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying

The proportion formed is:

[tex]\frac{6}{33} = \frac{x}{100}[/tex]

[tex]6 \times 100 = 33 \times x\\\\x = \frac{600}{33}\\\\x = 18.18 \approx 18[/tex]

Thus it takes 18 weeks to complete 100 hours of volunteer

Answer:

33/6 = 100/x
