Question

. Brian can pick forty-five pounds of strawberries in six hours. If he works two ten-hour days, how many pounds of strawberries will he be able to pick?

Answer 1

over 120 i think

Explanation:

1. this is the first way to do it: because if he can pick 40 pounds in 6 hours and he worked for about 20 hours that if you divide 20 by 6 you will get three because 6x3=18 hours and 40x3= 120

2. the second way is when you subtrat 6-10 and get 4 leftover and if you do that twice you get 8 leftover in all and if you do 8-6 it is 2 leftover so in all you have you have three six hours out of 20 and so you would have to multiply 40 times 3 because every six is 40 pounds of strawberries.
