Answer:

13 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

This is indirect proportion.

A simple method to use is to multiply the second and third values and divide it by the first value.

If 18 hours =$414

x hours =$299

[tex]414x = 18 \times 299 \\ \frac{414x}{414} = \frac{18 \times 299}{414}[/tex]

Cancelling out by 414 on the left side and by 3 on the right side

[tex]x = \frac{6 \times 299}{138}[/tex]

Note: We can only cancel numerators and denominators.

Cancelling out by 3

[tex]x = \frac{2 \times 299}{46} \\ cancelling \: again \: by \: 2 \\ x = \frac{1 \times 299}{23}[/tex]

=>299/23 =13 hours

We have 13 hours as our answer.
