Question

Finn jumped 200 times in 10 hours. At what rate, how many times would he jumped in 12 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer: 4 times

Step-by-step explanation: I got 4 times. Here's how to solve it:

Set up a proportional relationship, but first, we need to convert 10 hrs into mins:

1 hour = 60 mins

To find how many minutes are in 10 hours, we multiply 60 by 10, which equals 600.

So, therefore there are 600 mins in 10 hours. Now, we can set up our proportional relationship:

`(200)/(60) = (?)/(12)`

So, if we know 12 is a factor of 60, we should divide 60 by 12, and we should get 5. So, now we do the same with the 200. We do 200 / 50, and we get 4. I hope this helps!
