Answer:
68 homes
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First, let's set up a proportional relating the home to the # of hours.
- [tex]\frac{17}{49} = \frac{x}{196}[/tex]
2. Now, let's see if we can divide 196 by 49. If so, the quotient we get is the number we multiply 17 by to get x.
- [tex]196/49 = 4[/tex]
- This means that we multiply 17 by 4 to get x.
- [tex]17 * 4 = 68[/tex]
Therefore, the answer is 68 homes.
