Answer:

Dividing the number of balloon animal per the time he takes to make them you get an average of how many animals per minute Fred the clown can make.20/15=1,3 animals per minuteSince 0,3 is not a complete animal, the correct answer would be "Fred the clown can make 1 animal in 1 minute

Answer: 15 : 20

6 : 8

45 : 60

Explanation:

First, you have to divide both numbers by 15:

15//15 = 1

20/15 = 4/3

Now you know that Fred can create 4/3 animal balloons in 1 minute.

If he spent 6 minutes creating animal balloons, then he can create 6 times as many animal balloons:

4/3 x 6 = 8

Now that we figured out the first part, we need to figure out how many he can make in 45 minutes.

We can do this by doing the same thing as we did for the first part, except we multiply 4/3 by 45 minutes:

4/3 x 45 = 60

Now that we figured out both parts, we know that our final answer should be:

15 : 20

6 : 8

45 : 60

Hope this helped! <3
