6 for £2.88
? for £7.20
\(\frac{6}{2.88}\) = \(\frac{?}{7.20}\)
(?)×(2.88) = (7.20)×(6)
? = \(\frac{7.20*6}{2.88}\)
? = 15
15 Pens can be bought for £7.20

o3 We'll first you need to divide (we're making this into just hundreds here) 288 by 6 and 6 goes into 288 48 times so each pen must be £0.48 so now we need to divide 720 by 48 to see how many pens can be bought with that amount:  720÷48=15  so 15 pens can be bought with £7.20



Hope this helped!!
