Answer: He can create 8 balloon animals in 6 minutes.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • Fred the clown can create 20 balloon animals every 15 minutes.

So, first we have to find the number of balloon animals he can create per minute by dividing the number of balloon animals created in 15 minutes (20) by the number of minutes (15).

Mathematically speaking:

20/15 = 1.3333 balloon animals per minute

Now we multiply the value obtained by 6:

1.333333 x 6 = 8 balloon animals (rounded)
