Answer:

15 cars

Explanation:

To figure out how many cars Tony serves in 25 minutes, we first must find how many cars Tony serves in 1 minute.

12 cars รท 20 minutes = 0.6 cars per minute

0.6 cars per minute x 25 minutes = 15 cars served in 25 minutes

He can serve 15 cars in 25 minutes because for every 5 minutes he serves 3 cars so u multiply that times 4 and it gives u 12 cars in 20 min so then u do the same until u get 15 cars in 20 min which is
3. 15
- x 5 = -
