30/3= 10(if you do 30 divide by 3 then you need to divide 24 by 3 to)
24/3= 8
10x2= 20(same if you do 10 time 2 then you need to do 8 times 2)
8x2= 16
then add 30 and 24 with 20 and 16.

answer:40 in 50 sec

Answer:

40 hops.

Explanation:

We have been given that on her pogo stick, Lula made 24 hops in 30 seconds. We are asked to find the number of hops Lula will make in 50 seconds.

First of all, we will find hops made per second as:


\text{Hops per second}=(24)/(30)


\text{Hops per second}=(4)/(5)

To find the number of hops, we will multiply rate per second by number of seconds.


\text{Hops in 50 seconds}=\frac{4\text{ hops}}{5\text{ sec}}* 50\text{ sec}


\text{Hops in 50 seconds}=\frac{4\text{ hops}}{1}* 10


\text{Hops in 50 seconds}=40\text{ hops}

Therefore, Lula can make 40 hops in 50 seconds.
