Question

Joe tapped his maple tree to get syrup. The tree filled 3/4 of a cup in 1/2 hour. At what rate does syrup flow from the tree?

A. cup per hour B. cup per hour C. 1 cups per hour D. 2 cups per hour

Answer 1

if it fills 3/4'ths a cup in a half hour, 1 hour would be double of the half....just use common sense to figure it out really : )


3/4 + 3/4 = 6/4

6/4 simplified is 1 and 1/2s....

Your answer would be 1 cup per hour if IT DOES NOT HAVE 1 and 1/2 an hour as an answer!!!


Real answer 1 and 1/2 a cup per hour....
