You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here's how we can solve this problem:
**1. Learning periods to graduate with 3 modules per period:**
* **Credits needed:** Fernando needs 220 credits and has 124, so he needs 220 - 124 = 96 more credits.
* **Credits per learning period:** He completes 3 modules per learning period, and each module is worth 1 credit, so he earns 3 credits per learning period.
* **Learning periods needed:** To find the number of learning periods, divide the total credits needed by the credits earned per learning period: 96 credits / 3 credits/learning period = 32 learning periods.
**2. School years to graduate with 3 modules per period:**
* **Learning periods per school year:** There are 10 learning periods in a school year.
* **School years needed:** Divide the total learning periods needed by the number of learning periods per school year: 32 learning periods / 10 learning periods/school year = 3.2 school years. Since school years are typically counted in whole numbers, it would take Fernando 4 school years to graduate at this rate.
**3. Learning periods to graduate with 5 modules per period:**
* **Credits needed:** He still needs 96 credits.
* **Credits per learning period:** He now completes 5 modules per learning period, earning 5 credits per learning period.
* **Learning periods needed:** Divide the total credits needed by the credits earned per learning period: 96 credits / 5 credits/learning period = 19.2 learning periods. Since learning periods are typically counted in whole numbers, it will take Fernando 20 learning periods to graduate at this rate.
**4. School years to graduate with 5 modules per period:**
* **Learning periods per school year:** There are 10 learning periods per school year.
* **School years needed:** Divide the total learning periods needed by the number of learning periods per school year: 20 learning periods / 10 learning periods/school year = 2 school years.
