Pedro built nine bicycles in 25 h. At this rate, how many bicycles will he build in a 40 h week.
I got a decimal, do i round it off ?
I suggest you leave it as a decimal.

Cross multiply and solve for x.
9/25 = x/40
To find out how many bicycles Pedro will build in a 40-hour week, we can calculate the rate at which he builds bicycles per hour.
Pedro built nine bicycles in 25 hours, so we can calculate his rate as:
Rate = Number of bicycles / Number of hours
Rate = 9 bicycles / 25 hours
Rate = 0.36 bicycles per hour
Now that we know his rate, we can find out how many bicycles he will build in a 40-hour week by multiplying his rate by the number of hours in a week:
Number of bicycles = Rate * Number of hours
Number of bicycles = 0.36 bicycles per hour * 40 hours
Number of bicycles = 14.4 bicycles
Therefore, Pedro will build approximately 14.4 bicycles in a 40-hour week. Since we cannot have a fraction of a bicycle, we can round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Pedro will build 14 bicycles in a 40-hour week.
