Question

Gloria can knit one block of a quilt in 50 minutes. If she knits at the same rate for 5 hours, how many blocks can she knit ?

Answer 1

The answer is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, Gloria can knit one block in 50 minutes, and they want to know how many blocks she can knit in 5 whole hours.

Which means, that is 5 squares in 4 hours, but we still have the 10 minutes from each of the 50 minutes.

So, you add up the 5 ten minutes (50 minutes) Which gives you a whole square.

Therefore, Gloria can knit 6 squares in 50 minutes.

Answer 2

Gloria can knit 6 blocks in 5 hours.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you first have to find out how many minutes are in 5 hours. So 60 x 5, which is equal to 300.

Then, you divided 300 by 50 in order to find out how many blocks Gloria can knit, and you should get an answer of 6.
