Question

The accounts payable clerk writes 5 checks every 50 minutes. How many checks will he use in 170 minutes?

Answer 1

17

Explanation:

17 because they write five checks each 50 minutes so it means that every 10 minutes on the check is created incel I went 50 +50+50 =150 And you can't add another 50 so than in 20 minutes to checks can be made and then so I made the conclusion that there can be 17 checks made

hope this helps :)

Answer 2

17

Explanation:

5/50= x/170 multiply 5x170 divide that answer by 50. or bc u know that 5x10 = 50 u could divide 170 by 10 and still get 17
