Q. How many months are there in $\frac{2}{5}$ of a century?

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{We}\mathrm{know}\mathrm{that}, \\ 1\mathrm{century}=100\mathrm{yrs} \\ \mathrm{Also},1\mathrm{year}=12\mathrm{months} \\ \mathrm{So},1\mathrm{century}=100\mathrm{yrs}=100\times 12=1200\mathrm{months} \\ \mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{months}\mathrm{in}\frac{2}{5}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{century}=\frac{2}{5}\times 1200=480\mathrm{months} \end{gathered}$$
