Using proportions, it is found that when the Axolotl was swimming, 8 breaks were taken.
What is a proportion?
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
In this problem, in each break there are 6 yards. How many breaks are there in 48 yards? Hence the rule of three is given by:
1 break - 6 yards.
n breaks - 48 yards.
Applying cross multiplication:
6n = 48.
n = 48/6.
n = 8.
8 breaks were taken.
