Question

Aiden works at a garden center where he pots plants. It takes him 2 1/2 hours to pot 15 plants. How many plants can Aiden pot in 1 hour? (I need help please. This is for 15 points. Thanks)

Answer 1

`6\ plants`

Explanation:

Remember that

`2(1)/(2)\ hours=(5)/(2)\ hours`

Using proportion

`(15)/((5/2))(plants)/(hours) =(x)/(1)(plants)/(hour)\\ \\x=15*2/5\\ \\x=6\ plants`
