Q. Jesse can build 5 chairs in 9 days. How many can he build in 27 days?
Calculate Daily Rate: To find out how many chairs Jesse can build in 27 days, we first need to determine the rate at which he builds chairs per day.
Find Daily Rate: We divide the number of chairs Jesse can build in 9 days by the number of days to find the daily rate.So, the daily rate is rac{5 ext{ chairs}}{9 ext{ days}} = 0.5556 chairs per day (rounded to four decimal places for precision).
Calculate Total Chairs: Now, we multiply the daily rate by the number of days we are interested in, which is 27 days.0.5556 chairs/day ∗27 days = 15 chairs.
