Question

If you took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? at what rate were lawns being mowed?

Explain all steps!

Answer 1

1.) You are trying to find the amount of lawns mowed at 35 hours so we'll need to make a proportion: 7/4=35/x (x is the variable you're trying to find)
2.) Cross multiply the proportion: 7/4=35/x
35*4=140
3.) Divide 140 by 7
140/7=20
4.) 35 hours would accumulate to 20 lawns.The rate would be 35:20 and unit rate 6:4
