The Mayflower

The Mayflower traveled for 66 days on the trip from England to America. The weather was storming for many days of their trip. If one and a half of the days at Sea where Sunny with good weather, 1/6 of the days were sunny but very windy and the other days restore me. How many days of Stormy weather did the pilgrims experience on their trip?

Correct result:

s =  22

Solution:

$$\begin{gathered} f=1-1\mathrm{/}2-1\mathrm{/}6={\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}}\doteq 0.3333 \\ s=66\cdot f=66\cdot 0.3333=22 \end{gathered}$$
