Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale 1: Tubes/week = 1 tube/12 applications x 4 application/day x 7 day/1 week. Multiply the numerator (1 x 4 x 7 = 28). Multiply the denominators (12 x 1 x 1 = 12). 28/12 = 2.33 (33/100= 2/3) = 2 2/3.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale 1: Cans/month = 3 cans/1 day x 30 days/1 month. Multiply the numerators (3 x 30 = 90). Multiply the denominators (1 x 1 = 1). 90/1 = 90 cans/month.
