When two full moons appear in the same month,the second full moon is called a blue moon. On average, 10 blue moons occur every 25 years. Find the number of blue moons that are likely to occur in the next 41 years.
--------------------
x/41 = 10/25
x = 41(10/25 = 41(2/5) = 82/5 = 16 2/5
Round down to get x = 16 blue moons in the next 41 years
