Question

Anna is making soft toys she can sell at the fair. She can make 3 soft toys in 5 hours. How many soft toys can she make in 20 hours?

A. 10

B. 12

C. 16

D. 20

Answer 1

The answer is B.12 because if she make 3 in 5 hours that means that in twenty hours should make 12 because it's like this 3 x 4 = 12 and 5 x 4 = 20 so when you add the hours up you'll get the answer

Answer 2

B.12

Explanation:

We can calculate it with a direct rule of 3. If in 5 hours she can make 3 soft toys, how many soft toys will she make in 20 hours?

`\text{5 hours} -\!\!\!-\!\!\!- \text{3 soft toys}\\ \text{20 hours} -\!\!\!-\!\!\!- \text{x soft toys}`

We use the formula of the direct rule of 3:

`x = \frac {20*3}{5} \\ \\ x = \frac {60}{5}\\`

x = 12

She can make 12 soft toys in 20 hours.
