Question

Last week, Laura volunteered at the community clean-up event and earned 2 patches for her scout uniform. She spent 4 minutes sewing the patches onto her uniform. This week, Laura spent the week at the scout camp and earned another 6 patches.

If Laura sews at the same rate, how many minutes will she spend sewing her new patches onto her uniform?

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

let's say number of patches is x, and amount of time is y. the time per patch is k.

k * x = y

2 * k = 4

k = 2

2 * x = y

2 * 6 = 12
