Hope · Answer 1

8 trash bags ... 30 days

28 trash bags ... x days

We would like to know what is the value of the x. You can do it in the following way:

8 * x = 30 * 28

Now, you have to divide both sides of the equation by 8:

8 * x = 30 * 28 / 8

x = 30 * 28 / 8

x = 105 (days)

The correct result is 105 days.
