Answer 1

0.5x = 48

96 flyers

Explanation:

Given that:

Fernando hands out 29 flyers in 30 minutes ;

Number of flyers he hands out in 2 hours ;

29 flyers = 0.5 hours

Let number of flyers he hands out in 2 hours = x

Hence,

29 flyers = 0.5 hours

x = 2

0.5x = 48 flyers

x = 48 / 0.5

x = 96 flyers
