Answer 1

15 divided by 2 1/2=6
Nestor can pot 6 plants in an hour. (I'm guessing that it said 2 1/2 hours)

Answer 2

Answer: The required number of plants Nestor can [lot in 1 hour is 6.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Nestor works at a garden where he pots plants. It takes him
`2(1)/(2)~\textup{hour}` to pot 15 plants.

We are to find the number of plants he can plot in 1 hour.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the problem.

We have

Number of plants Nestor can plot in
`2(1)/(2)=(5)/(2)` hour = 15.

So, the number of plants he can plot in 1 hour will be

`(15)/((5)/(2))=15*(2)/(5)=6.`

Thus, the required number of plants Nestor can [lot in 1 hour is 6.
