If 10 people commit 23 mistakes in 15 months, how many mistakes would be committed by 170 people in 12 months?
----
# of mistakes(m) is directly proportional to # of people(p) and # of months(t).
--------
m = k*(pt)
---
solve for "k" using "10 people commit 23 mistakes in 14 months":
23 = k*10*14
k = 23/140
----
Equation:
m = (23/140)(pt)
----------------------
How many mistakes would be committed by 170 people in 12 months?
m = (23/140)(170*12)
m = 335 +
