Question

Yasmine needs to create invitation for the party. She has 3/4 of an hour to make the invitations. It takes her 1/12 of an hour to make each card. How many invitations can Yasmine create? Simplify if possible.

Answer 1

one card takes 1/12 of an hour or 60/12=5 minutes.

she has 3/4 of an hour or 60×3/4=45 minutes

number of cards she can make =45/5=9

Answer 2

Yasmine can create 9 invitations

Explanation:

The question gives the total time that Yasmine has - 3/4 of an hour

The time Yasmine takes to make one card (invitation) is
`(1)/(12)` of an hour

The number of cards that she makes can be calculated from the formula;

Number of Cards =
`(Total Time Available For Yasmine)/(Time Taken By Yasmine To Make One Card)`

Number of Cards =
`(3)/(4)` ÷
`(1)/(12)` =
`(3)/(4)` ×
`(12)/(1)` =
`(36)/(4)` = 9

Yasmine, therefore will be able to create 9 invitations in 3/4 of an hour
