Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let's call the number of sunny days and the number of rainy days.

we know ratio of 3 sunny days for every five rainy are equation for this is:

s/r = 3/5

let's simplified that:

s=3/5r

we also take the total number of days is 365:

s + r = 365

let's put (3/5r) in for s and simplify:

(3/5r)+r=365

8/5r=365

r= 365(5/8)=228

now we can solve for s:

s = 3/5(228)=137

we can double check by adding s and r : 228 + 137 = 365
