Amy can mow 600 square yards of grass and one and a half hours. At this rate, how many minutes would it take her to mom 600 square feet?

Three feet in a yard, so there are 9 square feet (3^2) in a square yard.

As a result, it will take 1/9th of the time to mow 600 square feet.

1.5 hrs = 90 mins

1/9th of 90 mins = 10 mins
