Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

2.8 for 8 means a ratio of

2.8/8

now we need to transform this ratio to show x/60.

for that we need to multiply the numerator and the denominator with the same factor.

which factor ?

well, the one turning 8 into 60.

so,

8×f = 60

f = 60/8 = 15/2 = 7.5

so,

x = 2.8 × 7.5 = 21

he will need 22 gains for 60 doors.
