Question

The trainers at Atlantis Aquarium perform shows about sea life. Yesterday, they performed 4 shows in 2 hours. Today, they will perform 6 shows. If they perform shows at the same rate, how many hours will the trainers spend performing shows today?

Answer 1

3 hours

Explanation:

Answer 2

3 hours

Explanation:

Number of shows : Time taken

= 4 : 2

Today, they will perform 6 shows.

Number of shows : Time taken

= 6 : x

Equate both ratios to find x

4 : 2 = 6 : x

4/2 = 6/x

Cross product

4 * x = 2 * 6

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3 hours

The trainers will spend 3 hours performing shows today
