To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

  1. You have [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of a page of advertisements for every [tex]5[/tex] pages in the magazine and the it has [tex]98[/tex] pages. Therefore, you must multiply the total pages by [tex]2/3[/tex] and divide the result by [tex]5[/tex] pages.
