Answer:

There are 12 shirts launched in an hour.

Explanation:

We can view this as a ratio.
(6)/(30) There are 60 minutes in an hour. So, let's double it.
(12)/(60) is our new answer. And so, we have our answer.

Answer:

12 shirts

Explanation:

If a T-Shirt Launcher can launch 6 shirts in 30 minutes, that means it can launch 12 shirts in an hour, because there are 60 minutes in a hour, and 30 minutes is half os 60 minutes, so we just do 6 x 2 = 12.
