Question

Alejandra can husk 8 ears of corn in 24 minutes. at this rate how many ears can she husk in 33 minutes?

Answer 1

99 husks

Explanation:

To find out how many ears she can husk in a minute we divide 24 by 8. When we do that we get 3. Since she husks three ears of corn in a minute we just have to multiple 3 by 33 to see how many ears she can husk in 33 minutes. 3x33 is 99.
