Question

Wario is dropping bombs at a rate of 32 2/5 bombs ever 45 seconds. How many bombs would Wario be able to drop in 410 seconds if he dropped bombs at the same rate?

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, let's convert the mixed number rate of 32 2/5 bombs to an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number (32) by the denominator (5) and add the numerator (2). This gives us 32 x 5 + 2 = 162. Then we write the improper fraction as 162/5. Next, we can find the number of bombs dropped in 1 second by dividing 162/5 by 45. 162/5 ÷ 45 = 162/5 x 1/45 = 162/225 = 0.72 bombs. Now, to find the number of bombs Wario would be able to drop in 410 seconds, we can multiply the rate per second (0.72 bombs) by the time in seconds (410). 0.72 bombs/second x 410 seconds = 295.2 bombs. Therefore, Wario would be able to drop approximately 295 bombs in 410 seconds if he dropped bombs at the same rate.
