Answer 1

Here is the answer to your problem

Answer 2

1.) Suppose James says that the 6 lawns take 3/4 of an hour to be mowed. How many lawns can be mowed in 1 hour? Ans. 8 lawns

2) If Macy makes 5/12 of a cake in 1/6 hour, keeping her pace, how many cake(s) She can make in 1 hour?2.5 cakes

Explanation:

1) Suppose James says that the 6 lawns take 3/4 of an hour to be mowed. How many lawns can be mowed in 1 hour?

We can set a proportion

lawn hour

6------- 3/4

l-------- 1

`(6)/((3)/(4))=6*(4)/(3)\Rightarrow 8`

8 lawns

2) If Macy makes 5/12 of a cake in 1/6 hour, keeping her pace, how many cake(s) She can make in 1 hour?

cake hour

5/12 ------------------- 1/6

c ------------------------1

`((5)/(12))/((1)/(6))=(5)/(12)*6=(30)/(12)=2.5`
