Question

Lynette can wash \[95\] cars in \[5\] days, how many cars can Lynette wash in \[11\] days?

Answer 1

Hint: As it is given that Lynette can wash \[95\] cars in \[5\] days, so, in order to solve the question, we take the work that Lynette can do in one day ,that can be found from the work done in \[5\] days. After finding the work for one day, the work done in \[11\] days can be found by multiplying that for one day with \[11\].

Formula used: To solve this question, the formula that has been used is given by
If work done in \[m\] days is \[n\], then the same work done in \[q\] days is given by the formula
\[\dfrac{n}{m}\times q\]

Complete step-by-step solution:
First of all, Let us look at the information given, that is,
Lynette can wash \[95\] cars in \[5\] days and we need to find the number of cars that Lynette can wash in \[11\] days.
Now if Lynette can wash \[95\] cars in \[5\] days
Therefore, number of cars which Lynette can wash in one day is \[\dfrac{95}{5}=19\]
So, number of cars washed by Lynnette in one day is \[19\] i.e.
This implies the number of cars washed by Lynette in 11 days is \[19\times 11=209\]

Therefore, the number of cars that Lynette can wash in 11 days is \[209\].

Note: It is very important to find the number of cars that Lynette can wash in a single day, if you think that just multiplying the cars washed in five days with the number of days for which we need to find the cars that can be washed, then it is the wrong method.
