Malike picked 45 oranges in 5 minutes

Work = Rate x time

If she can pick 45 oranges in 5 minutes

Mathematically

45 oranges ========= 5minutes

x oranges ========== 1 minute

Introduce cross multiplication

45 * 1 = 5 * x

45 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5

45/5 = 5x/5

x = 45 / 5

x = 9 oranges

Malik can pick 9 oranges in 1 minute

The answer is 9 oranges
