Question

Iris is making hats for the members of the school marching band. She can make 3 hats in one and a half hours. She wants to know many hats she makes in 1 hour

Answer 1

She can make 2 hats.

Since she can make 3 hats in 1.5 hours, divide 1.5 by 3 to find the unit amount of hats she can make.

1.5/3=.5

.5 of an hour is 30 mins.

Now, multiply 30 mins by 2 to find the amount of time it would take to make 2 hats.

30*2=60 or 1 hour.

She can make 2 hats in an hour.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Iris can make 2 hats in an hour.

Explanation:

3 hats in one and a half hours is 1 hat per half hour. 2 hats would take two half hours, which is one whole hour.
